The icon is still quite poor in Lucid. Here are some notable problems:
1. It's not the least bit obvious that it represents wireless networking at all. It has neither vertical nor arched signal bars, both of which are standard on both laptops and cell phones.
2. The little square black and white icon in the lower left corner, which seems to change with connection status, is so small that even though I know it has something to do with status, I can't tell what it means. It's useless.
3. The colors make the signal bar difficult to read, even though I know what it is.
Please, for goodness' sake, just use the one that GNOME is using in Ubuntu. It's perfectly clear, it looks pleasant, and it looks standard. Even the KNetworkManager in 8.04 Hardy was perfectly clear and pleasant, but this one in Lucid is awful.
