Improve tray icon visibility when red mode is enabled #27

Description

@michaelmawhinney

When Redlight is enabled, the tray icon becomes difficult to see, especially in Luma Red mode. The current icon appears to rely too much on color contrast, which is reduced or lost once the display is filtered.

Expected behavior:
The tray icon should remain clearly visible and recognizable while red mode is active.

Possible fixes:

  • Use a brighter/high-luminance active icon.
  • Add a thick white or light outline around the icon.
  • Use a simple monochrome silhouette that works after color filtering.
  • Provide separate tray icons for normal, red mode, and luma red mode.
  • Ensure the enabled-state icon is distinguishable by shape and brightness, not just color.

This would improve usability because the tray icon is the main indicator/control surface for the app while the filter is active.
