Concept ACK - though I think this should be buried in advanced options, end users should not have to be concerned with the various networks and could accidentally switch and be very confused / potentially lose bitcoin.

Also regarding color blind concerns @RandyMcMillan I made the below comment over at #89

I would be interested in (somehow) getting feed back from color blind people.

There are some tools online but I am not sure how reliable they are. Below I used https://logolab.app/lab to test color blindness for the different icons we use, it only tests for Deuteranomaly, Protanopia and Tritanopia though (A few other kinds exist). Blacks pretty much look the same for everyone so will it will be the most consistent for color blind users - another reason to stick with black imo.

Some observations - Tritanopia will likely see regtest and testnet the same color, protanopia may see testnet the same as orange, Deuteranomaly may see orange and testnet as similar in color.

In Windows if you search for "bitcoin" you get two options for mainnet and testnet which are links to shortcuts that have below targets set in their properties and same thing for electrum wallet:

@prayank23 I don't think this is a good idea, naive users probably don't know the difference between the two and shouldn't have too. I think having one app option for main net and the ability to change once inside the GUI will result in less user error.

Switch mainnet / testnet / signet / regtest from GUI #78
