I don't think this is completely fixed yet. 1) The difference between the stages is not intuitive. Why smaller waves (1 to 2) and lighter gray levels (2 to 3) should be understood as a more advanced stage of connection? 2) The transition from 2 to 3 is very, very subtle. I'd say barely

err... stage 2 is the stage where the hardware scans for networks, send passwords , hence the waves move outwards and back inwards. stage 3 is after the resolution of the passwords for the wireless and the connection is established , hence retaining the old animation seemed ok. -- Network

The not needed to fix this bug aernt my comments , but i agree. But your arguments are a bit off , everyone knows or would realize if an envelope changes color , it is calling for attention. I dont think we need a manual for that. However if the icon changes shape it would also cause alarm if

Sorry, I got confused. Rephrasing the last part. Compare this with the current version: 1 - wide waves 2 - narrow waves, animation back and forward 3 - narrow waves, animation just forward What does back and forward means? We are closer? We are being rejected, so what we send is coming back? We

You are confused ;-) The dimmed - normal was not noticeable *enough* , people werent noticing the change in the icon, since the change was too subtle. Folks missed the messages, since the icon became closer to the rest of the icons. And did not draw attention. Hence there was a need for a

Aanyway, to some extent I agree that it's just an animation' and I understand if you simply want to close this bug and move the discussion to another place, as most of what I'm saying are personal opinions. -- Network manager icons incomplete (do not differentiate stages and vpn)
