feat: Optional display microphone name text in mode indicator

[trillium]

I tend to switch between my computer's onboard mic and a wireless mic fairly often, having text up inside the indicator helps me know which mic is active.

Optional display of microphone name substring in the mode indictor.

Would this be useful to others?

Looks like this:

MacBook Pro Microphone - Command mode

RØDE Connect Stream - Dictation Mode

None -

Changes

• Add on_draw_text to render microphone name initials inside the mode indicator
• Show active microphone's first two letters as overlay text
• Use configurable text color for microphone label
• Default to not show text

Yes, please, this would make my life easier! I often wind up using the mouse to access the dropdown microphone menu to try to figure out why commands aren't registering as expected.

(I've often wished that "microphone show" had a way to indicate which one is currently active, and this provides an alternative to that)

(And if community decides not to merge this, I'll just bring your changes into my branch. Thank you so much for working on this, and posting a PR!)

Looking good. I left a few suggestions to clean it up a bit :)

[trillium]

Thanks for that, committed your suggestions @AndreasArvidsson :)

Any idea why it might initialize as grey on save?

It goes back to whatever other color mode as soon as I change windows

This effects the behavior very little, just an observation that I think was present before adding text to the mode indicator

Probably because all the default colors are specified in a Talon file so when you save the python file the settings gets reset to wherever default is specified in the python file. Just my guest though.
