Switching between servers is very hard and unintuitive #3952

Switching between different openHAB servers is very hard and intuitive.

Actual behaviour

When configuring multiple servers it's possible to switch between servers through a tiny dropdown arrow.
At first I did not find the arrow and it was not clear how one can switch servers.
I even tried setting the different servers as favorite without success.
After playing around some more I found the tiny arrow.
The arrow is very hard to hit and I usually have to tap 3-4 times on it until how list opens.

Expected behaviour

Usability should be improved here.

The easiest thing would obviously be to make the arrow bigger.
However it's in a very hard to read place (center top of the screen).

How about adding the servers to menu (if more than one server is configured)
That way the servers can be accessed quickly e.g. with the left and right hand.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Configure multiple servers
  2. Try hitting the tiny arrow
