I wear glasses plus I use hires (14" with 1400x1050) so maybe that's just me, but on the other hand all other icons (kget, kwifimanager, kwallet) are crystal clear for me.

For wifi connected status I would suggest just other colors, and _not shaded_. It is too much, really. Take a look at kwifimanager -- its icon is much more readable (i.e. it presents desired readability).

Cable connected -- the icon is a bit too cryptic, the icon size is limited so when you try to put rotated image of the plug, what do you get? Only few pixels to draw image. The same goes for disconnected icons.

For two latter ones, please compare it to KGet download list -- it has pretty useful icons for that purpose.

Moved to OpenSUSE 11.0 ...

The best solution will most likely be to make the icons configurable.

Same as with most of Maciej's suggestions: --> 11.1

KNetworkManager for KDE3 is not maintained any longer. Therefore I resolve all bugs that are still open as WONTFIX without looking at each single bug report.
If this bug deals already with KDE4 and is still in progress, then please apologize the mistake and feel free to reopen it.
