Description Nikos Papas 2011-10-31 16:41:02 UTC 
Version:           0.9 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

This is nothing serious, but it would be nice to have it fixed. Before I create a VPN connection, the widget shows on the left side the VPN label and the status "Not connected" in gray fonts; this makes sense as the connection is inactive.

However, once a connection is established, the fonts should become black, showing that the connection is active. Nevertheless, after a successful connection the fonts remain gray.

Also, maybe the VPN label "Virtual Private Network" should always be black regardless of the state of connection?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
create a VPN connection

Actual Results:  
the fonts remain gray

Expected Results:  
the fonts should be black
