Document Mouse Without Borders status colors

[rjindael]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Include a resource somewhere (either on the Microsoft help site or in the Mouse Without Borders page) that describes the status colors shown to users when trying to connect to another computer.

These colors are already shown here:

PowerToys/src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/ViewModels/MouseWithoutBordersViewModel.cs

Line 43 in 792a774

private static readonly Dictionary<SocketStatus, Brush> StatusColors = new Dictionary<SocketStatus, Brush>()

The colors being:

• N/A: Dark Grey
• Resolving: Yellow
• Connecting: Orange
• Handshaking: Blue
• Error: Red
• Connection was forcefully closed: Purple
• Invalid key given: Brown
• Timeout: Pink
• Communication error: Maroon
• Connected: Green

This is currently not documented anywhere.

Scenario when this would be used?

This is incredibly useful when troubleshooting your connection. I was able to figure out the problem with my Mouse Without Borders connection, but only after delving into the codebase.

Same here.

I've connection problems and was looking for this.

A tooltip or a label under devices would help.
