Explain in detail what your suggested feature would be used for.
The suggested feature would allow users to disable the colourblind friendly status indicators in VRCX. Currently, these indicators use shapes on top of colours to assist colourblind users in distinguishing between different statuses. However, for users who do not find these icons helpful or prefer solid colours, this feature would provide an option to revert to solid colour indicators instead.

Describe how it would look if it requires a UI.
If implemented, the feature would likely be integrated into the Appearance settings of VRCX. Within these settings, there could be a toggle switch labeled "Disable Colourblind Friendly Status Indicators." When toggled on, VRCX would display solid colours for status indicators instead of the current colour plus icon combination.

Explain why people would want to use it.
People would want to use this feature primarily for improved readability and personal preference. Some users, including myself, find it easier to differentiate between statuses using solid colours rather than colours with added icons. This preference would act similar to the third-party Vencord plugin available in Discord called "ColourSighted", where users can remove the colourblind friendly status indicators.

Moreover, providing this option enhances accessibility for users with different types and degrees of colour vision deficiencies. It acknowledges that while colourblind friendly indicators are helpful for many, they may not suit everyone's visual preferences or needs. By including this feature, VRCX would cater to a wider range of users, ensuring a more inclusive and customizable user experience.
