[Feature request] Rework the inactive network status icon

Post by birdie »

Currently it's almost impossible to see if it's enabled or disabled - the difference is very hard to spot.

If possible please make it look like the disabled/removed CD/DVD icon (i.e. totally gray). Besides it will be consistent with the rest of UI (Mouse/Optical disk icons).

Thank you.

Generally I agree with you.
What do you suggest if there are 2 or more network interfaces and some of them enabled ?

A half colored/half grey icon.

I would like VBox developers to say something. ;-)
