I propose a permanently visible status bar in fproxy, which would combine various current and proposed features. It would occupy no more than 2 lines vertically, and preferably more like 1. It would include: - The Simple vs Advanced mode switch. - The current security levels. - The selected language. - A very brief summary of the current useralerts.
Hence, something like: | English | Switch to advanced mode | Security: NORMAL NORMAL NORMAL | 16 critical messages, please read them! With appropriate tooltips (<a title=> mouseovers), links and dropdowns. I am not sure about the last part though. If we can sufficiently compact the messages, it may be better to actually display them, or at least any high priority messages, on all pages? Hence: | English | Switch to advanced mode | Security: NORMAL NORMAL NORMAL | 5 messages, click here CRITICAL ERROR: YOU ARE BUSTED CRITICAL ERROR: YOU ARE STILL BUSTED CRITICAL ERROR: KNOCK, KNOCK! Or: | English | Switch to advanced mode | Security: NORMAL NORMAL NORMAL ERROR: Firewall problem INFO: You have 5 new messages from your Friends Thoughts? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
