The title color change is obsolete: it dates from the time when we had separate user and device menus, where the user menu had a specific "Online Accounts..." item that could turn red. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeviceMenuAndUserMenu#User_menu> Nowadays we have a combined session menu containing only a "System Settings..." item.
There are many possible error states inside System Settings panels: your default printer may be offline, your default software update server may be unreachable, there may be no keyboard connected, your backup storage location may no longer be mounted, and so on. Each of those should be flagged with a helpful error message at the point of need, not by special-casing the title and contents of the session menu. For example, a prompt for you to reauthorize an online account could appear if and when an app actually tries to use that account. Please remove the red title. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to libindicator. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1206550 Title: when online accounts have auth issue, the indicator should display a red color line Status in The Session Menu: New Status in Libindicator: New Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Currently, in saucy, the icon turns red but the menu gives no indication of why, I think it used to display a red label in the menu as well To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/1206550/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
