Description

Hi, first off I just want to say I really like the Panda Status - it’s a great little addition to the X1C and makes it easy to see what’s going on at a glance. That said, I had a couple of suggestions that I think could make it even more useful:

### 1. Separate customization for each status
- Right now, only idle/printing/error can be customized, but Panda Status also shows things like paused, downloading, and preparing to print. Those extra ones look very similar in color to me, and it would be great if each one could have its own brightness and color options.
- Personally, I’d also like the option to have the bar dimmer during normal use (idle/printing) and brighter when something important happens (like complete or error).
- Also the option to turn flow on or off, speed and intensity (so it can be more noticeable).

### 2. More flexibility for the “complete” (green) status
- My main request: if the printer has a door sensor (like the X1C), it would be amazing if the complete status could stay active until the door is opened.
- If there’s no door sensor available, then having a customizable timeout instead of being locked at 30 seconds would solve the problem. Right now I often miss the complete notification if I’m not nearby when the print finishes.

Thanks for considering these ideas!
