Addition of option to change modename

Describe the solution you'd like
For example, it is currently displayed as "--NORMAL--", but I would like to change it as an option so that it can be changed to "-N-" or an icon.

Research direction

Start by locating where the extension renders the current mode name, including the "--NORMAL--" text, and review how user options are defined and loaded. Done means users can configure the displayed mode name, including a short label or icon, and the configured value is shown in place of the default.
