As for the network indicator: indicator-network might be a good start to look at (https://launchpad.net/indicator-network [2]). They managed to include toggle switches in the indicator implementation and it looks much cleaner compared to the default network manager applet. It does not use network-manager but connman instead (which is a network manager tool backed by Intel: https://connman.net/ [3])
I'm not sure whether it has ever been evaluated, but if indicator-network (and connman) offer most of ElementarOS's needs, switching from metwork-manager to connman might be an option for Luna+1?

You'd be able to use any GTK widget there. I'm not sure what kind of embedding is used there, I haven't seen any docs on them, but I suspect you'll need Vala or C for that, and we strongly prefer Vala. > > However, it might be better to check your vision with the design team first. We're moving away from non-system-wide indicators. Also, we need some system indicators customized (http://elementaryos.deviantart.com/gallery/37412343 [1]), getting that done would be stellar. > > -- > > Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff Links: ------ [1] http://elementaryos.deviantart.com/gallery/37412343 [2] https://launchpad.net/indicator-network [3] https://connman.net/
