Mac Version Improvement Suggestion

Not a big deal, but you might make the Live Sync icon in the Mac Menu bar
identical to how the Live Sync icon operates in the Windows Taskbar. In
Windows when you successfully log-in, the icon turns blue. In the Mac is
just turns black from grey (hard to tell sometimes). Using color in the Mac
version would make it obvious there is a connection problem. The old Mac
Foldershare icon had some color when it successfully connected.

Using color would make this icon look like a stranger in my menu bar.
All programms I'm running are using black/white icons. I really love it
that way. The old foldershare icon was looking ugly with its color.

Best way would be a setup - like dropbox does - and having different
designs (like an exclamation mark onto the symbol when something's going
wrong)

Just see the optical differenz here:

You can see that a coloured icon is really ugly looking in the menu bar.
