[indicator] + [dialog] Silent Mode causes no indication of a change in [icon] state.

[James Mulholland]

- "When the sound is muted, the volume icon to the left of the volume slider should have a red "/" running through it."
- "Add an explicit "Mute" button to the sound indicator menu."
- "Pressing and holding the icon to the left of the volume slider should mute volume straight away."

------------------------------

Desired resolution: Once the sound is muted icon should change but not the colour. We have an icon for muted

The behaviour has already been illustrated by MPT

I have just discussed this with James. He had transcribed three suggestions here:

1. If the minimum-volume icon had red through it all the time, it would risk being the most prominent item in the menu (at least when music wasn't playing/paused), and it would be inconsistent with System Settings (cf. bug 1376286) and with the volume OSD. If the minimum volume icon should be changed everywhere, that's an issue for the theme, not the indicator.

2. A Mute button in the indicator menu would be too similar to Silent Mode. We should, however, have a Silent Mode switch as the first item in the Sound menu.

3. Currently tapping on the icon to the left of the slider sets the volume to zero -- but pressing and holding does not. This should be fixed.

Can this be triaged onto a milestone for canonical-device-system image?

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

Can we get a clarification, the title is about silent mode and the description and comments pertain to mute
Do we want the indicator to show silent mode is enabled?

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

Be nice to land this since we wanted it for release originally

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-sound - 12.10.2+15.04.20150402~rtm-0ubuntu1

@pat, what is the behaviour we should see, since it seems not to be the exactly requested behaviour in the bug description.

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

When silent mode is enabled the icon in the top panel changes to show that mode
Users were forgetting they enabled silent mode

The icon does not change when muted. One could argue it should also change in that case but that was not the design direction that was understood. I assume that is because increasing volume will rectify that when actively using the phone, whereas with silent mode you can miss calls and texts.

[John McAleely (john.mcaleely)]

@pmcgowan I note that the UX task is still triaged. On the OTA3 image, you get a little cross for 'silent mode' next to the indicator.

For the volume OSD, the visual language is different, where as you take the volume down to zero, you get a cross. Which is confusing.

@patty davilla, is there still work to be done in this area, or is your task in need of an update.

Desired resolution updated in the description. Icon needs to change but not the colour.

[Alex Milazzo (digitalalex)]

The icon has changed, pls use this one. thx

please open a new bug, rather than commenting on a long-closed one.
