Procedure 5.2 Conguring Multiple Tray Icons for KNetworkManager
As KNetworkManager can keep multiple connections active at once, you might wish
to be informed about the connection status for several connections at one glance.
You can do so by using multiple NetworkManager icons in your system tray, each
representing a dierent group of connection types (for example, one icon for wired
connections, another icon for wireless connections).
1 In the conguration dialog, switch to the Tray Icon tab.
2 Click More Icons. A new icon entry appears in the list.
3 Select the network connection types you want to be represented by this icon
and group them under the respective icon.
4 Conrm your changes.
Now the system tray shows multiple NetworkManager icons from which you then
can access the connection types tied to that icon.
When conguring a network connection as described in Procedure 5.1, “Adding or
Editing Connections” (page 58), KNetworkManager also allows you to customize the
icon displayed for this connection. To change the icon, click the icon button next to
Connection Name and in the following dialog, select the icon of your choice. After
conrming your changes, the new icon is displayed in the list of available connections
you get by clicking the KNetworkManager icon in the system tray.
5.5 Using GNOME NetworkManager Applet
In GNOME, NetworkManager can be controlled with the GNOME NetworkManager
applet. If the network is set up for NetworkManager control, the applet usually starts
automatically with the desktop environment and is shown as an icon in the system
tray.
