Description
### Your use case
#### What would you like to do?
Add options in Preferences to change certain colors in the UI, to help people with color blindness
#### Why would you like to do it?
I'm colorblind (deuteranopia - green/red), and sometimes it's hard for me to make out whether an user is online (this is an issue that bothers me the most)
#### How would you like to achieve it?
### Have you considered any alternatives?
_No response_
### Additional context

Contributor guide
Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Preferences UI and the code that displays online status, then determine which UI colors need alternatives for deuteranopia; done would require an agreed design and accessible color options that make user presence distinguishable.
