2013-05-16 10:50:05 Damien description This menu need to be reorganised a bit. There are a lot of separation lines, to the point the user has trouble understanding what they are separating. I'd love to put a screenshot of it but I can't (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153157) so I'll use my best ascii art instead. Here is how it shows on my computer: phone1 ~greyed~ disconnected ~greyed~ ______________ some network ______________ phone2 ~greyed~ disconnected ~greyed~ ______________ another network ______________ wireless network ~greyed~ current network disconnect ______________ some wifi another wifi a third wifi too many wifi I can see five ______________ connect to an invisible wifi create new wifi network ______________ VPN connections ~with submenu~ ______________ activate network activate wireless network ______________ connexion informations manage connexions The separation line should only separate different objects: modem1, modem2, wireless, VPN, options. There shouldn't be a line between active and inactive connections: an icon change and the following line "disconnect" indented should be enough. Like this: phone1 ~greyed~ disconnected ~greyed~ (x) some network ______________ phone2 ~greyed~ disconnected ~greyed~ (x) another network ______________ wireless network ~greyed~ (✓) current network disconnect (x) some wifi (x) another wifi (x) a third wifi (x) too many wifi (x) I can see five connect to an invisible wifi create new wifi network ______________ VPN connections ~with submenu~ ______________ options ~greyed~ activate network activate wireless network connexion informations manage connexions This would be more compact and easier to read and understand.

Furthermore you either have a submenu or you don't, VPN shouldn't be singled out. Like this: phone1 ~greyed~ disconnected ~greyed~ (x) some network ______________ phone2 ~greyed~ disconnected ~greyed~ (x) another network ______________ wireless network ~greyed~ (✓) current network     disconnect (x) some wifi (x) another wifi (x) a third wifi (x) too many wifi (x) I can see five connect to an invisible wifi create new wifi network ______________ VPN connections ~with submenu~ ______________ options ~greyed~ (✓) activate network (✓) activate wireless network connexion informations manage connexions This would be easier to read and understand.
