Network manager itself should provide an indicator icon to show if the pc is actually connect to the internet or not. Windows can do this since years.

This is just a visualisation of the data retrieved from Solid. Solid gets its data from various data providers, depending on your configuration from networkmanager, connman, wicd or the linux kernel itself.

Does that only check of an existing connection or whether you actually can access something?

WiFi with a hotspot web login interface is quite common nowadays, so it is highly useful for such tools to try to download a know small web page and check if its contents match what was expected. And if not – have an option of launching a web browser to allow the user to log in and then display the connected status when the connection actually is working.

Oh, this should be possible with every application what allows to choose a font. Is that program called fontpicker or what?

Comment on Missing tools for people looking for jobs by Keith Nasman

I think Evernote would do the trick nicely. A notebook for “Job Search”, sub notebooks for each opportunity. Web-clip the job app and any other company/contact info. You can BCC any email you send to Evernote and then file it appropriately. Notes would be easy. IRC logs are just text files so that would be easy to paste in. For Tool 2 you could just set up tags with those.

The cloud bonus is that you can manage this from your smartphone, tablet, notebook, or any internet coffee-shop PC.

Thank you for posting this because it coalesced exactly what I need to do :-)
