[Feature Request] Net Status Icon

Post by consdel »

It would be useful a little icon in the status bar about net-status, something like green, -yellow-or-red that notifies port redirection problems and things like that.

Just in case if you didn't know already though, there is a Network Health plugin which tells you in words whether there is a NAT issue or not ... don't know if you knew that already. A Icon system would be alot easier to read and interpret.

you are right, that's almost the same thing!
i suggested the icon (utorrent style) because it's enabled "by default" and easier to understand.

Yea, I will probably use an icon and integrate it with the 'Test Active Port' button in the preferences.
