GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 571093
Gray out icon when it's powered off or killed
Last modified: 2009-03-03 17:46:05 UTC
the BT icon could be red instead of blue if no device is present (or the device is off) This is usefull for devices with a HAL switch, as dell bluetooth. thanks Other information: ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 Package: bluez-gnome 1.8-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: bluez-gnome Uname: Linux 2.6.28-6-generic i686

Reassigning to bluez-gnome fork, gnome-bluetooth.
Half-done in: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-bluetooth?view=revision&revision=396 We don't do it for killswitches yet.
Do you mean for hardware kill switches? Because if that's the case, then I don't see a point in showing the icon in the tray at all since the adapter can't be enabled in software. Or am I missing something?

Yes you are, they're called "software" killswitches. Even most hardware killswitches are actually handled through software. Fixed in trunk.
Mmmmmm, but this is only useful with software killswitches... If I don't have a bluetooth device I know that...
You know what? I don't understand your question, and I don't think it's relevant to this bug anyway. Feel free to test out and file bugs if it doesn't behave as it should.
The real question is: did you also implement the gray icon for devices swtiched off using software killswitches?
Of course I did, they're the only ones we can see and control. The software can't get its hand out of your machine and toggle the hardware switch itself.
