Indicator to show that media is playing

[StrongSand94191]

It would be convenient if there were an indicator of whether media is playing. I'm not great at mockups but I made one: The line at the bottom would indicate that the media is playing and would match the user's accent color.

Alternatively the text could be greyed out if the media is not playing.

Here are a couple of takes on these ideas

Another option could be to use the same style as the task manager widget uses to indicate progress

Sorry for the late reply.

I like the first version, it also has the benefit that it would fit well with or without "background colors from album cover" enabled.

Personally, I prefer the second because with the first version the text and the progress can overlap, and making it more transparent leads to it becoming less invisible, the second version can be more transparent while still being distinguishable.

As for the color it just uses foregroundColor with opacity, IMHO it looks okay-ish when colors from album cover is disabled but maybe the opacity needs to be tweaked a bit more.

Opened https://github.com/ccatterina/plasmusic-toolbar/pull/228 if you want to experiment with it
