No icon for Network Manager's "No Connection"

[Matthew Woerly]

Binary package hint: community-themes

I'm using the Breathe icon theme, and whenever Network Manager shows "No Connection," the icon falls back to the Gnome one.

Is this for a wireless or a ethernet connection? Could you add a screenshot so that we can understand the problem better?

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

It's a wireless connection. I'll test ethernet and post a screenshot later...

According to Icon Naming Specification (http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html) there should be network-status related icons in status folder:

network-error - The icon used when an error occurs trying to intialize the network connection of the computing device. This icon should be two computers, one in the background, with the screens of both computers, colored black, and with the theme's style element for errors, overlayed on top of the icon.

network-idle - The icon used when no data is being transmitted or received, while the computing device is connected to a network. This icon should be two computers, one in the background, with the screens of both computers, colored black.

network-offline - The icon used when the computing device is disconnected from the network. This icon should be a computer in the background, with a screen colored black, and the theme's icon element to show that a device is not accessible, in the foreground.

network-receive - The icon used when data is being received, while the computing device is connected to a network. This icon should be two computers, one in the background, with its screen colored green, and the screen of the computer in the foreground, colored black.

network-transmit - The icon used when data is being transmitted, while the computing device is connected to a network. This icon should be two computers, one in the background, with its screen colored black, and the screen of the computer in the foreground, colored green.

network-transmit-receive - The icon used data is being both transmitted and received simultaneously, while the computing device is connected to a network. This icon should be two computers, one in the background, with the screens of both computers, colored green.

icon-naming-utils scripts makes nm-no-connection symlink point to network-offline icon.

I have fixed this bug - patched breathe-icon-theme with several bugfixes (like bug #253599 and bug #417294) can be downloaded from Baltix GNU/Linux repository - https://launchpad.net/~baltix-members/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=breathe

[C.Kontros (coryisatm)]

So these are just symlinks icon-naming-utils is not making?

@Mantas - If you branch current trunk (of Breathe) and apply the changes I'll merge your branch.

Cory ,
none of the network-receive , network-receive-transmit , network-transmit icon will be used by nm-applet
The only icon used for ethernet is the network-wired. no status icons will be used.

Regarding nm-applet, the whole place is a mess, it doesnt follow the icon naming specs and Asac is trying to clean it up.
Let's not create symlinks which wont be used .

For this bug only symlink to be added is the symlink for nm-no-connection. I'll be pushing the changes in a bit. the other bug i'll try to do it by tomorrow
