Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2011-10-11 10:35:19 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

When connected to a mobile broad band connection, all you get is a generic cell phone in your tray (which also is not black'n'white and thus not looking good). The Plasma Active shell provides a (dummy) cellular network strength indicator which also ships a .svgz file that holds the strength indicator bars and the network type used (3G for example). This should be used as strength indicator for mobile broadband :)

The icon file is: [plasma-mobile] /artwork/desktoptheme/air-mobile/icons/mobilesignal.svgz

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:
