Two thoughts... 1. What is the sense of "Freenet is running (no gateway)"? If Freenet is running and fproxy doesn't respond, this is clearly an internal problem. Shouldn't that be subsumed under "Freenet is having problems"?
2. I would think it's pretty annoying to have a flashing icon in the systray whenever I have Freenet running (e.g. because I have it start automatically with Windows) and I am not connected the Net (because of metered dial-up, whatever). Or are users supposed to switch off Freenet when they go offline? Would be cool if Freenet detected the presense or absense of a net connection automatically (as, say, ICQ does). -Stefan From: "Dave Hooper" <[email protected]> To: <devl at freenetproject.org> Sent: Monday, June 18, 2001 10:49 PM Subject: [freenet-devl] [Windows] New status info+icons for freenet systray > Ok, so, here's the new plan. > > 1.
