I see now. There's unfortunately no good way to tackle this -- the "connecting" animation used by VPNs has the pulsating wifi-style semi-circles for icons. This works great for animating establishing a connection, but tends to look a little bad for VPNs where the animation gets composited over the existing icon.
However, Maverick has been released already and I'm not especially fond of making aesthetic changes in a released version (and it's not exactly adhering to the guidelines for SRU either -- see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When). Doing so would additionally have us go further from upstream which I would like to avoid... it's not really an issue in NM, just with the icons we use for this animation, contained in the themes in use. I appreciate your concern for the look and feel of Ubuntu and the network-manager applet, but because of the above reasons, I'll mark this bug as Won't Fix. FWIW, this is somewhat fixed in the version in Natty (which also has been ported to indicators), since icons and animations are no longer composited over each other. ** Changed in: network-manager-vpnc (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix ** Changed in: network-manager-vpnc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709228 Title: network-manager-vpnc shows wrong animation for wired connections -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
