Description Kuno 2010-01-09 03:38:16 UTC

the bottom right corner shows the status of the wireless.
usually it is white.
when no access is possible it is red. <- good

my proposal:
white during system startup
yellow during the connection process
green when connected and signal strength is good enough
orange when signal is too weak for reliable operation
red no connection possible

It's actually a good idea, but there would be so much work involved in changing documentation, faqs, wikis, etc. that it's just not worth it for Radio.

It has definitely been a "pet peeve" of mine that there's not a good indication to users that their wireless connection seems unreliable.  All they know is sometimes it's white and sometimes it's red.

We'll keep these colors in mind for the next product, though.  :)

The 'UI' component is being removed.  This bug is being shifted to the appropriate new component.
