"everyone knows or would realize if an envelope changes color , it is calling for attention"
If that was true, then there would be no need to change the dimmed->normal originally planned for Lucid to dimmed->green like it recently happened. Mark acknowledged that people did not feel that dimmed->normal passed the notion of "check me out" strongly enough. In other words, even for something as simple and obvious as "something calling for attention", careful choices must be made for discoverability. For network manager it's the same. I'm not saying people should know exactly which stage means, but knowing that they are different stages of a progress would be helpful, and I don't think the current icons pass this message strongly enough. You say that "it is much more clearer than the default animation shipped with nm" but I can't imagine why. Original version: 1 - zero green dots 2 - one green dot 3 - two green dots a very simple progress idea, which anyone can grasp. Plus, even if the original stage 1 icons do not use a warning color, having two gray dots pass the idea of "disabled", which is, by the way, on the lines what I was thinking would be a good solution for stage 1: dimmed waves. Compare this with the current version: 1 - wide waves 2 - narrow waves 3 - wide waves again What does wide mean? "Larger progress", "strong signal" or "connection far"? What does narrow mean? "Smaller progress", "weak signal" or "connection close"?
