Feedback is always important :)<br /><br />In fact, the screenshot that I made is not the final version of the Plasmoid Popup using QML, we intend to show the disconnect button only in the connections that the user is really connected to (as we intend to change the icon too - thing that is made in current version of plasmoid).<br /><br />I understand your concerns about the encryption icons that are used, but, I don't see it as a major issue yet. To show the current connected network, I'm thinking about reordering the list and changing the style of the component (make connection name bold, for example), but, that's a thing I only intend to work later.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting and feel free to do it whenever you want :)Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803281394846057485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4036840250255964125.post-46685085432586361222012-05-01T03:40:53.945-07:002012-05-01T03:40:53.945-07:00The thing is that "no encryption" icon i...The thing is that "no encryption" icon is still a shield. That may suggest "this network is protected". <br /><br />I personally see the red shield with white cross as "this is a network you cannot connect to" (ie. "you can't pass this shield").<br /><br />As for the default route overlay - that's why I suggested to move it above all other networks and clearly put "You are connected to this network" label there (more like "Active connection"). It would also make the list more clear as you won't have to look for the small icon overlay to see the network you are connected to. Therefore you could save some more icons and make the UI less crowded :)<br /><br />(I hope I don't sound too negative or something, you both did great job, I'm just trying to constructively suggest few improvements for simple users ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942751846658999459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4036840250255964125.post-33295044450003440282012-04-30T16:56:15.643-07:002012-04-30T16:56:15.643-07:00Plasma NM uses the lock icon to indicate a VPN con...Plasma NM uses the lock icon to indicate a VPN connection is active and we already have a overlay on the icon of the connection with default route, that would result in two overlays on the icon of the default connection. Anyway, the shield has three states (unencrypted, wep and wpa), not two. I know some people do no care about the encryption type but I also do not see why change the shield from what they are now.Lamarquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689491144609928238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4036840250255964125.post-25833484843938626652012-04-30T15:55:10.009-07:002012-04-30T15:55:10.009-07:00In fact, that's how ubuntu's nm applet loo...In fact, that's how ubuntu's nm applet looks like [1]. Very clean, simple and elegant. Also for completness, here's how the gnome3 nm applet looks like [2].<br /><br />If I may, I'd suggest to go slightly in that direction as well ;)<br /><br />[1] - http://jaap.haitsma.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/nm12.png<br />[2] - http://www.linuxexpres.cz/uploads/gallery/detail/4533.jpgAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942751846658999459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4036840250255964125.post-28681907470508725792012-04-30T15:42:44.594-07:002012-04-30T15:42:44.594-07:00Nice work on the QML-ifying!

For example we don't really need the "security" icon - we could have an overlay over the "wifi" icon on the left (also I personally think the lock symbolizes it better, but that may be just my feeling;) I'm not sure what exactly happens now when you connect, but you could move that currently connected-to network up above all others and put the disconnect button next to it or below it, that would clearly show you the current network (sorry if it's done already, I'm judging from the screenshot ;)<br /><br />Keep up the good work :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942751846658999459noreply@blogger.com
