I went back to Xfce as my desktop for over a year now and only recently, I found a panel plugin for displaying the wifi signal strength from the Xfce Goodies Project called xfce4-wavelan-plugin. It’s a perfect little application with only one problem. The status icon is too ugly.
So I googled a little, found out a great replacement from the GNOME Network Monitor Applet. Downloaded the source code, extracted the icons, added an extra bar for xfce4-wavelan-plugin has a “5-step increment”. And tah-dah!
Grab the icons here. Extract to xfce4-wavelan-plugin-*/panel-plugin/. and do the usual steps.
Cheers.
Thanks a lot, Works great!
