Use proper icon set for the new network menu

[David Barth]

Per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#Artwork%20requirements:

The current list is:
 * mobile signal strength icons (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)
 * wireless strength icons (off, 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)
 * wired connection icon
 * computer-to-computer network icon
 * padlock icon for encrypted networks
 * colored light icons for “connected”, “on but not connected”, and “off”
 * flight mode icon

The existing set contains most of those, except:
 * mobile signal strength icons (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)
 * computer-to-computer network icon
 * padlock icon for encrypted networks
 * colored light icons for “connected”, “on but not connected”, and “off”
 * flight mode icon

See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-network/+bug/619080 which requires a lock icon.

Also an indicator icon for the flight mode is needed:

Updated description to reflect the current status.

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

mobile connection icons are present under the names "gsm-3g-%STATE" where %STATE is none, low, medium, high, and full

computer-to-computer icon is called "nm-adhoc"

both overlay and standalone lock icons are supplied as "nm-vpn-lock" and "nm-vpn-standalone-lock"

the spec says the light icons are drawn with cairo.

so that leaves the airplane icon, which I think I saw in a screenshot already.

is this now fixed or do we still need to adjust?

[Paul Sladen (sladen)]

Matthew/Daniel: could you clarify. Does it need new icons creating, or just updating applications to request those icons that are currently there in 'ubuntu-mono'?

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

Paul, that was my question. It seems to me that all the icons are available. I'm not sure if the request is for some/all of them to be restyled or to be renamed or what's going on.

Thanks, these are good. I'll use these in indicator-network.

Somehow I missed these, I think nm-vpn-standalone-lock is good for
marking encprypted (wep/wpa) wifi networks. Though in the future there
might be a problem if we use the same icon for both encrypted wifi and
vpn?

The airplane icon you saw (used by indicator-network-settings) is drawn
by us developers. Even it's good enough for now, I would prefer to get
something more official (and better looking) from you guys :)

> is this now fixed or do we still need to adjust?

I think everything else is ready except the flightmode icon. I'll change
indicator-network to use the icons mentioned above and then give the
final verification.

I now used the flightmode.svg icon from indicator-network in the icon and the end result is not good imho. The icon is visible enough, especially because the color is almost the same as in panel. Based on this we definitely need a new icon for flightmode.

dbarth: Kaleo: DanRabbit: mpt: can somebody give me a sanity check of my understanding of the situation; This icon would only be used in indicator-applet, which uses connman (not network-manager) as the backend, and which is *not* currently being installed by default on the desktop edition/Unity?

Is connman/indicator-network installed *by default* in any Ubuntu 11.04 situation?

Kaleo, if I just did a re-colouring of that icon into orange "warning" mode or blue "pure information" mode, so that work?

Actually it's Kalle (or kvalo), kaleo is someone else. But don't worry,
you are not the first, nor the last, who did this :)

Yes, this is about indicator-network which uses connman.

Correct.

Yes, it won't be installed by default in 11.04.

First I want to warn that I'm a network engineer and it's very difficult
for me to comment on these things.

Re-colouring should help, but I'm not sure if it should use any
"warning" colour. In a way it's not an error case, most likely user has
enabled flight mode deliberately.

In the menu bar, the flight mode icon should be the same color as all the other network menu icons, the battery menu icon, the sound menu icon, etc: off-white in Ambiance, black in Radiance. It should not be orange or blue.

In the settings window, the flight mode icon should be black in both Ambiance and Radiance.
