Comment (by antonela):

 Thanks phw!

 Some comments:

 - The icon is a great way to offer visual feedback to users. I remember we
 discussed it a bit at
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/27385#comment:8. Using the
 states described at the comment:35, we have:
 1. Gray icon for disabled
 2. Purple icon for enabled (waiting)
 3. Rotating purple icon for proxying (enabled + transferring). I did the
 animation with CSS here https://snowfl4k3.glitch.me/.

 - The doorhanger can be narrower. 320px is fair enough.
 - Could we use the system font? In that way, it will use the client's
 default. Now, it is loading Times New Roman.
 - The copy is great. Although, I think we can iterate over the technical
 terms in the future.

 I'm not sure if re-open this ticket or file a new one.
