Indicate inside client UI when offline
Steps
- Connect to core
- Open buffer
- Enable airplane mode
Expected
Some form of indication inside the client that one is offline, avoiding confusion as to why no new messages arrive.
This might take the form of an info bar below the top bar or near the bottom, akin to the Offline Mode
message in YouTube/Google Maps/Google Play Music.
Actual
No in-client indication that connection's lost. Only the notification, failure of actions, and missing buffer/nick list show the offline state.
Additional
Though viewing messages while offline is a new feature, QuasselDroid classic always made it (far too disruptively) obvious when you got disconnected, hence feature parity.
