Heating feedback about doodle3d-client HOT 2 OPEN

small suggestion:

doing something with or around the thermometer.
Why not the same as a charge icon on mobile phones. I it animating towards
the target and from the current state.

i personally don't like notifications in text for Doodle3D, younger kids
cannot read that well

When the printer is still cold and you start a print it takes quite a
while before it starts printing. Showing very clear feedback that the
printer is busy heating might take away some confusion.

We can't easily use the regular status messages (top right) because this
is at that moment used to give feedback about buffering. We could make
these messages stack, like Crowl on OS X, see the following examples.

We could also use another part of the interface, doing something with or
around the thermometer.

Implementing this requires good feedback from the printer that's it's
actually heating. Currently this isn't communicated. We can see that it's
busy at line one, the line of the heatup command in the default start
gcode, but this is something users can change.
For Marlin printers this should be quite doable since it returns a very
specific kind of temperature while heating. And this is only send went it
actually waits for the hot end to reach the target temperature.
We could add this info in the API in the general info/status and in the
printer/state as a separate boolean.
It's probably unwise to add this to the current list of possible printer
states because you'll get a lot of things that need to happen while in the
printing/stopping/buffering/heating state.
