If the technical issues of actually testing for a working Internet connection can be solved reliably/globally, perhaps that extra information could be placed in the device pop-up palette as a text item? There are a number of different possible network device svg icons that would all need to work well with an extra visual globe overlay, I'm not convinced we could make one clear enough but closest would likely be a minimal fill/stroke circle in one corner. Certainly would need a line of text in the palette to aid discoverability/clarity. Obviously would need to be clear exactly what was being tested to come up with wording/design (ping of some agreed server/s, working http get, etc). --Gary > -- > Anish > _______________________________________________ > Sugar-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
