Make tracker online/offline status more immediately visible #1

Description

Problem

Right now, checking whether all SlimeVR trackers are online requires right-clicking the tray icon and reading the "Trackers: N/8 online (down: ...)" line in the menu. SlimeVR's own iPad-viewed server UI doesn't help either — it shows the number of trackers assigned, not how many are currently online.

There's no way to tell at a glance (without opening the menu) whether something's actually down.

Ideas discussed

  • A balloon/toast notification whenever the online tracker count changes (e.g. a tracker drops or recovers)
  • Changing the tray icon itself to visually reflect a "not all trackers online" state (e.g. a badge/overlay or a different icon color)

Context

Confirmed live 2026-08-07: SlimeVR server had been running 23+ hours straight without a restart, and its own UI didn't reflect that hip/chest trackers were unreachable even though VrSessionMonitor's own ping-based check did. A restart of the SlimeVR server resolved it. This issue is about surfacing that existing ping-based status more visibly, not about the staleness bug itself.
