Unintuitive switching to ETC Node

[vojtacerny]

When switching to a different node ( e.g. ETH -> ETC) there's no pop-up, UI change or anything that would suggest that process was successful. Can you guys consider coming up with something?

It could help a lot.
Thx.

@kvhnuke Please add a success notification upon node switch: "Node successfully switched to [Node name] [Node service]"

If it can't connect to the node, please show error notification instead (same as the header one)

We should also add some visual differentiation bw mainnet nodes and everything else while we are on it.

@crptm I don't disagree. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe color coding or something the ETH \ ETC \ TESTETH variable that appears all over the site as it wouldn't be too overbearing.

[crptm]

I am not a designer :D

Was thinking about usual grouped dropdowns like:

Mainnet

MEW
EtherScan

Testnets

Blah
Blah

Custom nodes

Add

Color coding UI is nice also, but it wouldnt work for new users as good as it would for returning ones.

Would love feedback on this. I think it may need to be more obvious, but it may be just enough to give you that extra "hey wait why is there a yellow border......". Except for poor color blind people. I'll have to double-check colors and see.

Maybe change the color of the "make transaction" button?

meh, I don't know. I don't expect people to understand the correlation, I just want people to take the extra 200ms to pause before sending something they don't usually send / want to send.....

Calling this done. If anyone has any feedback or thinks it needs to be even more obvious, let me know.
