Add warning message to proxy settings

Pull Request Type

  • Other - usability improvement

Related issue

It isn't clear for non-power users that you actually have to set up a proxy/set up Tor to get it to work. This change should remove some of that confusion.

Description

Adds a warning message under the proxy settings saying you need to setup a proxy/Tor and configure it or FreeTube won't work

Screenshots

Going to play devils advocate here, why go for this banner instead of our standard tooltip ? Not against it but i would like to understand the reasoning. If we go this way than it should only be shown when the setting is enabled.

offtopic discussion: should we also use a banner for other settings?

I think part of the problem here is the naming of the setting itself "enable proxy/tor" sounds like you can just turn it on like other settings and it will just work, something along the lines of "connect to external proxy" with a subtitle of "enter the connection details for your proxy below" might make it more obvious what the setting actually does.

Enable Tor / Proxy => Enable Tor / External Proxy? (Something like that not sure if Tor can be called "external" I don't use it

Thoughts?
