--- Comment #14 from Lin Ma <lin.ma at sun.com> 2009-11-11 03:26:20 UTC --- (In reply to comment #12) > Ok, so to summarise what I think people are suggesting here: > > Green: All manually-enabled NCUs, and at least one NCU in active priority > group > (if there is an active priority group at all), are connected. For priority group, depends on that group mode, e.g. if the group is 'all must enabled', then any NCU not in 'online' will result an Orange icon. > > Orange: NWAM daemon is running, but status is not 'green' as defined above. > > Red: NWAM daemon is not running. Or anything cause failures when invoking nwam functions. Agree. My another concern is neither ui spec nor this alias mentions how ENM state affects panel icon. Thought we don't show users any ENM info (expect the name of menuitem), it still may be good to include that. The current implementation is to show orange if any ENM is in 'need attention', show greed for other state. > > I'm happy to go with that, and we'll see how it works in practice. > > It does give us one slight extra GUI design headache, which is what to do if > the user tries to interact with the icon while it is 'red'.

If we are using auto-magic, why we have to consider such case? Red is more like a bug to me instead of showing nwamd state. Diagnostic options only make senses if we are not using auto-magic. -- Configure bugmail: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
