Making the "offline" string more explicitly related to chat would be a
great tweak. Colour in the icons would be nice but I don't think this
would be reflected in the indicator heading, which means having an
extra layer of understanding to match symbolic to colour-dependent
icons?

Removing white from the (dark) offline symbolic icon would help
differentiate it more from the online related symbols.
