Easy, but could use better disconnect notification

I got this because sometimes my ethernet stops working but I don't know it because my wifi takes over and then my zoom calls suffer. So I wanted to have a quick way to see if ethernet is connected. This ALMOST is perfect. The menu bar icon changes based on your ethernet status and I like that it has three states, connected, connected but not prioritized, not connected. However, the non connected icon is grey and the connected is white. So they look almost the same. I would like a more obvious indicator that ethernet is not connected. Or options to set that myself. It would also be nice to have an option to get a notification through notification center when status changes. Thanks!

Simple and reliable, would like better notification

This is great and I'm happy that it focuses on wired status and excludes wireless. I got it because my reliability is not as good if I'm only on wireless. It would be helpful if the disconnected icon could be red or something that stands out more. A notification-center notification on disconnect would also be helpful.

Full Version Purchase Doesnt Work

I recently downloaded the Ethernet Status App and purchased the Full Version for $1.99. It worked for a bit and when I closed out of the app to refresh something, it does not appear as if I made the purchase. It suggests that I look at the Full Version. When I click it, the 'preferences menu' opens up. I then try to 'Restore Purchase' but nothing happens. I also restarted my computer after trying to restore and nothing changes. It still appears as if I have the 'Free Version' instead of the 'Full Version.’

I also tried reaching out to the creator on his website through the contact link, but the messaging/email section doesnt work when you click send. I wanted to give 5 stars when I first downloaded it, but Im afraid the Full Version isn’t working properly. However, the Free Version does what it claims it does.
