Title:
(network menu) there are too many separation lines
Status in WingPanel:
Invalid
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
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
