Description popov895 2020-07-03 15:36:46 UTC 
SUMMARY

Currently, I see that the icons that show available and connected networks are not enough visual. For example, I find it difficult to determine the signal strength of the network without peering. I would like these icons to be more visual, and therefore I propose to display the filled lines with an accent color. As for me, this solution makes determining the signal level more convenient and the icons more informative. Also I'm sure that my solution can be improved, so I propose to discuss this issue here or anywhere else.

Make signal strength in network icons more visible

Currently, I see that the icons that show available and connected networks are not visible enough. For example, I find it difficult to determine the signal strength of the network without peering. I would like these icons to be more visible, and therefore I propose to reduce the opacity of faded lines. As for me, this solution makes determining the signal level more convenient and the icons more informative.
