[Bug 43109] netstatus-applet: Confusing colors while transmiting

[Gabriel Patiño]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-netstatus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Binary package hint: gnome-netstatus-applet

In netstatus-applet, while using the default Human theme, tangerine
icons, the icon in the panel shows two monitors.

Ehen data is transfered, the monitors switch from showing a black screen
to a 'mini desktop' or something like that.

I think this may be somewath confusing (or not advisble) for some
people. In dapper this applet (or maybe network-monitor) used to show a
light blue screen when transmiting, which was easier to undestand.

Maybe making the monitors show a plain color (like in breezy) could
help, or using different colors for uploads and downloads, like red and
green, for example.
