Bug Description
The tooltip describes the colors of the vinylcontrol_status widget as follows:
Vinyl Status
Provides visual feedback for vinyl control status:
Green for control enabled.
Blinking yellow for when the needle reaches the end of the record.
Blue for passthrough enabled.
At least some skins use other visualizations (e.g. in LateNight it blinks green and passthrough is indicated by another widget).

IMO make the colors match the tooltip is not worth it, considering how small the indicator is implmented in current skins. Also
* green and blue are not suitable to indicate the distinction between
enabled and passthrough
* we have a Vinyl Control toggle indicating the Enabled state
* we have more prominent Passthrough indicator:
- the Passthrough toggle
- the dimmed overview with the Passthrough label
So IMO the all states are shown adequately.
The End-of-record warning (blinking) could be incorporated into the Vinyl Control toggle, similiar how it's done for the Broadcast and Recording toggles.
What do you think?
