[KDE Connect] Improve "No device" warning in KDE Connect desktop SMS App

KDE Connect is an open-source application which provides integration for your phone and your desktop, such as allowing you to use your phone as a wireless trackpad and presentation remote, or for replying to incoming text messages from your computer. Come and be a part of building a transparent and secure bridge to simplify your world! Please do not identify yourself with your real name or where you live, as privacy is important for minors.

The desktop KDE Connect SMS App will allow to read and write SMS on your phone via your computer. Currenty there is a combobox to select a device that show "No devices available" when there are none. This message should be more prominent. The Kirigami app (in the app/) subfolder of the kdeconnect-kde repo does this better, take some inspiration there

You can find instructions on how to build the app on https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect#Building_KDE_Connect_.28Desktop.29. To build the app a special build flag is required. To enable it run "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DEXPERIMENTALAPP_ENABLED=True .." from within the build directory. Then do "sudo make install"
