            Bug ID: 358088
           Summary: Icon for "wifi networks available but not connected"
                    difficult to recognize
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: master
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Theme - Breeze
          Assignee: visual-design at kde.org
          Reporter: colomar at autistici.org
                CC: plasma-bugs at kde.org

The current icon for the situation when wifi networks are available but the
computer is not currently connected to any is very similar to being connected
to a wifi at full signal strength (they only differ in color).
This is problematic because 
1) the color blue is the highlight color in the Breeze color scheme which is
often used for "active" states, but here it means "inactive". 
2) the blue is not easily distinguishable from the black/grey for connected
wifis under certain circumstances (e.g. light conditions).

This may often lead users to mistake the icon as signalling a connected wifi.

Reproducible: Always
