For a multi-system setup it is helpful if the online state of the clients is shown in the overview of "Screens and links". Currently all icons have an identical appearance independent of the accessibility of the client.

My scenario:

(1) Macbook as server
(2a) iMac as Client
(2b)Windows 10 Bootcamp (on iMac) as client

Since 2a and 2b can never exist at the same time, but are represented by different clients, a visual display in the overview "Screens and links" helps to see if the client is active and reachable. This display supports the positioning of the symbols in this display.
