 Thanks for the input cypherpunks!

 I'd like to get antonela's feedback on this. I'm worried that terminology
 like "State" makes more sense with a computer science background and can
 be confusing for users unfamiliar with coding or things like state
 machines.

 I can see your point on how it could be more immediately clear to see
 simply "ON" or "OFF" with a toggle that changes it, but I don't have a
 background in UX. Are the other visual indicators (colour of snowflake,
 additional text above the toggle) useful?
