Easier way to switch online / invisible status on native app (through system tray or automatically)

Linglin

Could you please implement the following privacy features (mainly 2 and 3 on native app, Windows 7)?
The others are mostly to improve the way discord handles status.

1. (for best implementation) Disabling notifications should be separate from your public status.
While invisible, you may want notifications on or off. Related: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360054536311-Invisible-with-Do-Not-Distrub
So these things should be separate toggles:
public status = online | away | don't disturb | custom...
visibility = publicly visible | invisible
notifications (as private setting) = notify | silent

2. (most important) System tray icon showing your visibility.
For example, the icon can be semi-transparent while you are invisible and/or slashed while silent.

3. (also important) Menu entries to toggle visibility and notifications by right-clicking systray icon.

4. (extra) A feature to add temporary status override periods.
For example: automatically invisible and silent during night period.
You can enable|disable the entry at anytime, and also customize:
period: e.g. 11 PM .. 5 AM, on mondays .. fridays
visibility = no override | invisible
notifications = no override | silent

    You have thought of exactly what I was thinking but in a greater context!  Discord needs to add this feature.  It's fun to play with.  Another thing you can mention is to make it that streaming and the mobile online presence in the options, as it's best to have the streaming one when you are planning to stream, instead of putting it in your custom status, and have the mobile online presence one to trick people that they are on their phone, or even have one.  Still. all these features are great, and adding them will make me happy.
