Hi Alex,

kdeconnectd loads fine on login. 
Normally when i check the settings, the icon next to the device name has no 
colour infill until i click it when it changes to green.   But today the icon 
was green when i opened it so it looks like its working as it should, maybe 
i'm checking the settings too quickly and not giving it enough time to perform 
the handshake.

It would be helpful if the icon on the task bar changed colour to indicate 
that a pairing was live and/or the tooltip shows the pair is active (similar 
to the kmail tooltip that show how many unread emails)

Thanks for the help.

Regards

Ian
