is it intentional that the currently-connected network is no<br>

The colors of the stroke/fill serve as the visual representation of the identity of the network; changing them effectively strips this identity. The new design does not make any indication of which network is presently associated in the Neighborhood view; perhaps we can find an alternative method. Thoughts?</div>

it's been pointed out that you can see your current network on<br>
the frame, but somehow that's not quite the same (to me).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, that's the preferred model. The Frame serves as a perpetual status element, and is instantly accessible no matter "where" you are within the UI. I'm open to improvements on the model.</div>

i'm also not sure how to disconnect from that network -- there's no<br>
"disconnect" option in the popup anymore.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, that's a "bug", but not really. The problem is that there is no notion of "disconnect" in network manager at all. The old behavior used to switch into mesh mode, which disassociated with the network itself. However, we now have a more direct means of accomplishing this, via turning the mesh device on or off explicitly. It doesn't make sense to compound these. The more conventional option is something like "turn wireless off" to disassociate with the current network, but that assumes that there is no other potential use for the wireless at all. In our case we still have the mesh to worry about, so that again doesn't map onto our circumstances.</div>
