Re: [gui-dev] A firewall indicator in the GUI

Hi Marcin,

You're right; the status bar did not increase in size, even by one 
pixel!  However, the labels do make the status line look a little too 
crowded.

I think what we really want is to rework the status bar to be more like 
the status bar in IE:



Note how there are partitioned sections explicitly set up for certain 
indicators.  We would like something similar, with indicators for 
connection quality, firewall status, # files shared, the media player, 
and even an area to display arbitrary text.

This is certainly more of a medium-sized project and would be rewarded 
as such.  Let me know what you think.

Also, if you can send me a separate diff of your fixed translation, I 
can incorporate that right away.

Thanks!
Justin
