hi,
i don't really like the WinXP look and feel of NM's signal strength
icon :-| in addition, it only indicates strengths in the regions 100% <
75% < 50% < 25% < 0% (for what it's worth anyway). i quite like gwlan's
icon, nevertheless i decided to come up with "my own" design (which
probably already exists out there). i'm as bold as to suggest to change
NM's icons, but if somebody out there wants a more refined set of panel
icons for the signal strength, here's a patch and a link to a set of
icons (that need to be copied to NM's panel-applet/icons/ directory
before compiling). the strength range is 100 < 85 <65 < 45 < 25 < 5 <
0, and the color changes according to the signal strength range. it's
certainly not perfect and not meant for everybody, but i thought i'd
share it with the NM world - maybe somebody finds it useful (i.e., likes
it or feels inspired to do her/his own icons).
here's the link to the icons:
www.cgtp.duke.edu/~rinke/misc/NM-icons.tar.bz2 feel free to modify,
copy, ... anything you want.
and here's the patch:
