Thanks for understanding. I would like add two more things in the list of items that are togglable. The wifi and the hotspot. They are already in the networks applet but I think they should also be available as a dummy button in the expanded tray. They both redirect you to the networks applet full representation when split button is pressed. It will hopefully make things more clear. A power saving mode should also be helpful for laptop users. The expanded view will have more fine tuned controls. Maybe we can now reconsider adding a brightness slider as well. At least in my desktop I don't have one and I need one when surrounding environment is too dark. I would also like to know your opinion about the static controls things. I think that is important. You can use the night color to see how it keep changing places when done outside of automatic start up time. The implementation of split view can be made more simple I think. What about the applet itself shows the split button in the compact representation? In that way an applet can do this whenever they want and it becomes really simple. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
