Make the tile design more intuitive

The tile's icon and tile's label should not be start or stop:

Reasoning:

A tile already conveys the meaning of state (active/inactive/unavailable) and the next state if I press the tile, (active goes to inactive, inactive to active, unavailable remains the same) by simply looking at the tile's tinting. Therefore using the square stop and triangle start icons are unnecessary noise, that requires the user to analyse if the icon represents a current state or the state if pressed, hence requiring the user to read the tile's label to understand what it means.

It is not good practice. Imagine if all apps used the triangle icon for active or activate, or the square icon for app is stopped or you stop by clicking. It would make using the tile drawer a nightmare.

Recommendations:

Using the app's icon as the tile's icon, can visually convey information of what app this tile refers to.

Also, the tile's label could say "nebulo" to reinforce what app this tile refers to, or include useful information, like current dns server name.

Adding a tile subtitle would be nice to show current action or errors, to quickly understand what is going on with the app.
