[feature-request] A status icon to show ringtone volume level

Now that it's possible to change ringtone volume by volume keys, a richer profile indicator is needed in status bar not only to show silent profile but also the ringtone volume level, for example in three states: low, medium, loud.

In lack of such indicator it is highly probable that you decrease the ringtone volume and later forget to increase it, so you will probably miss calls and messages. For now, I prefer to stick with Ambiences to change ringtone volume because the wallpaper reminds me boldly about the recent volume change.

Note this is NOT about restricting the volume keys for media volume, but for an indicator to show ringtone volume level.

It is possible by patch, but requires icon rearrangement. See screeenshot. bar

@Ancelad, is it a mockup or real screenshot?

However, I prefer to have a rich combined profile indicator to avoid having both volume level and silent indicator. I mean the same indicator which shows the silent profile should show the volume level on non-silent. We can also use the loudspeaker icon with up to three lines just to make it more iconic.

Rich indicator is "good" way to miss everything. What the screenshot shows is nearly visual mess.
