Comment (by arthuredelstein): I have a working prototype for a patch. I have posted two screenshots below. I made a few tweaks to Antonela's version 8 design. I simplified the title of the circuit section to just "Tor Circuit," because the domain or website name is shown in the "Secure Connection" section right above it. I moved the domain name to the last node in the circuit. It occurs to me that the Tor Circuit section needs an icon at left, similar to the lock in the "Secure Connection" section and the Permissions [✓|x] icon below. Any ideas what this icon should be? (An onion is probably not the right choice, because we're already using that for onion sites.) One possibility would be the "relay" icon in https://people.torproject.org/~irl/icons/ Any thoughts about where the "Guard (i)" and "Learn More" links should lead to? Somewhere in the Tor Browser manual? Or should these be tooltips? Or perhaps a single large info section could pop up next to the circuit display whenever the user hovers over it. Also I'm wondering if it's bad to have both the Guard (i) and "Learn More" links, since they seem to be redundant. Also, I liked Sukhbir's suggestion about adding an "Exit" label. We could even add a "Middle relay" label or more information about an onion site's relays. But I don't want it to look too cluttered either. Maybe tooltips are the best thing? All feedback will be very welcome, no matter how seemingly trivial. I want to make it pixel perfect. :) [[Image(short-circuit.png)]] [[Image(long-circuit.png)]] -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24309#comment:26> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
