Description Calum Benson 2004-03-03 17:12:51 UTC 
It would be really cool if the panel icon (and properties dialog) showed 
the wireless signal strength as well as network traffic info when a 
wireless interface was selected....
Comment 1 Calum Benson 2004-03-03 17:55:03 UTC 
To elaborate a little, when a wireless connection was selected, I 
was thinking the panel icon might gain a little vertical bar to show 
signal strength[1]:

 +--+  -
+--+|  =
|  |+  =
+--+   =
 ==    =

and the properties dialog could gain a horizontal one, much like the 
Windows connection properties dialog:

Activity
  Received: <blah>
  Sent:     <blah>

Signal Strength:
   [***************....] 75%

or something :)

[1] would probably also want an option in the properties dialog to 
show this as a textual percentage instead, for accessibility.

which need tweaking .. thanks
