📝 Description

Starting with version 6.11.1, if network connectivity is lost, the icon will appear red, as expected. But if connectivity is restored, the icon remains red until I've restarted the application or received a notification to cause it to colorize itself as green.

🪜 Steps To Reproduce

1. Have Gitify running, working as expected.
2. Disconnect Mac from the internet (disable wifi, unplug ethernet, etc.).
3. Put the Mac to sleep.
4. Wake the Mac.
5. Observe that the Gitify icon is red.
6. Reconnect the Mac to the internet.
7. Open Gitify, and click the "refresh" button.
8. Observe that Gitify's state is back to normal, but the icon remains red.

🪵 Log Excerpts

I don't think there's anything helpful in here, but you can see the network errors (as expected) followed by normal behavior after connectivity is restored.
