You have been subscribed to a public bug: This menu need to be reorganised a bit. There are a lot of separation lines, to the point the user has trouble understanding what they are separating.
I'd love to put a screenshot of it but I can't (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153157) so I'll use my best ascii art instead. Here is how it shows on my computer: phone1 ~greyed~ disconnected ~greyed~ ______________ some network ______________ phone2 ~greyed~ disconnected ~greyed~ ______________ another network ______________ wireless network ~greyed~ current network disconnect ______________ some wifi another wifi a third wifi too many wifi I can see five ______________ connect to an invisible wifi create new wifi network ______________ VPN connections ~with submenu~ ______________ (✓) activate network (✓) activate wireless network ______________ connexion informations manage connexions The separation line should only separate different objects: modem1, modem2, wireless, VPN, options. There shouldn't be a line between active and inactive connections: an icon change and the following line "disconnect" indented should be enough. Furthermore you either have a submenu or you don't, VPN shouldn't be singled out. Like this: phone1 ~greyed~ disconnected ~greyed~ (x) some network ______________ phone2 ~greyed~ disconnected ~greyed~ (x) another network ______________ wireless network ~greyed~ (✓) current network disconnect (x) some wifi (x) another wifi (x) a third wifi (x) too many wifi (x) I can see five connect to an invisible wifi create new wifi network ______________ VPN connections ~with submenu~ ______________ options ~greyed~ (✓) activate network (✓) activate wireless network connexion informations manage connexions This would be easier to read and understand. For further cleaning, inactive modems could be hidden https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1180747 . ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Affects: wingpanel Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid -- (network menu) there are too many separation lines https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1180757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
