** Description changed: - Binary package hint: ubuntu-mono - The icon used to show a wired (ethernet) network in network-manager- applet shows two arrown pointing up and down. This icon is typically associated to "sync" action on various other places and operating systems. + In user testing of Ubuntu on 2010-12-15, participants identified the + icon as "flipping between sessions" or "scroll up scroll down." + A more appropriate icon could be something like the ones suggested at recent GNOME UX Hackfest, see this blog post http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/?p=946 and/or this image http://jimmac.musichall.cz/images/blog/gnome-stencils.png - - ProblemType: Bug - Architecture: i386 - Date: Fri Mar 5 10:54:48 2010 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 (20100224.1) - Package: ubuntu-mono 0.0.6 - PackageArchitecture: all - ProcEnviron: - LANG=it_IT.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-15.22-generic - SourcePackage: ubuntu-mono - Uname: Linux 2.6.32-15-generic i686 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532522 Title: Poor metaphor for a "wired network" icon -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
