WTH are icon colors used to show the running state of addons?

On the Add-ons page, whether an add-on is running or not is displayed by the add-on’s icon: monochrome if it’s stopped, color if it’s running.

This is a problem for add-ons that have monochrome icons, such as ESPHome, Frigate, and Studio Code Server, as the icon will always be monochrome whether the add-on is running or not.

That’s indeed a WTH :warning:

I regularly (need to) open add-ons (with monochrome) icons just to see if they are running or not :man_facepalming:

@iridris you should definitely also vote for your own WTH :wink:
