UI Issue: WiFi network stength hard to see with many networks.

[Martin Owens]

When looking at the 'More Networks' drop down for the network manager indicator, we see that a large collection of networks can make trying to see the strength of a network quite hard. The Icons don't lend themselves to being stacked one on top of another as in the list.

See the screenshot for an example.

So, you mean to say, there should be more padding between items, and the icon should be larger?

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

No. Because to say such a thing would be to pretend to suggest a fix to a problem that I could well be inventing. What I did here is the reporting of the problem and it's unfair of you to ask me to come up with the solution to the problem in order to make the problem valid.

Hi Martin,

Sorry, I wasn't able to understand the issue fully. That's why I was asking it in a way to ensure if I was right.

Moreover, its not a bug in indicator-network, its a bug in the indicator-applet implementation of network-manager-gnome. Indicator-network is a completely new indicator which is not pre-installed on Ubuntu.

Thanks cbds! Awesome response and thanks for reassigning, there are so many packages with similar names :-)

I've attached a design break down of what I mean to help the designers and developers understand what I'm seeing. The basic problem is that the icons are not different enough at small scales and rely on keen eyesight to spot a very slight different in contrast.

In my opinion moving the lock icon in a position where it doesn't overlap with the indicator should solve.
