mockup for bottom of GUI (68.53 KB, image/png)

mockup for bottom of GUI

currently, the bottom of the main window is showing :
[Online]
[Network] [Status(generally blank)] 

As status is generally blank, we could improve it by putting on the same line:
[Network] [Online]

(see mockup in attached file)

and display the status only when needed, in a visible way (for example the way Empathy indicates in red a connection problem)

This would save space and make Ekiga more aesthetic and ergonomic.

You are right, waiting that someone steps inside and fix it...
Comment 2 Eugen Dedu 2012-12-14 09:10:32 UTC 
The status was moved to top, so this bug is no longer relevant in my opinion.  Feel free to reopen if you disagree.
