[SOLVED]Gnome panel icon for netctl

Hi - does anyone know if there is a gnome panel icon (like Network manager) available for Netctl?

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome panel icon for netctl

I dug up an old applet I had written for Cinnamon (based on another applet by Tjaart van der Walt), and upgraded it to work with Gnome 3.12

For some reason, I am not able to submit it to the AUR.

^^Mods: please help if possible - I keep getting a "Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed". error when I am trying to submit the tarball linked below.

download link to the tarball, in case anyone wants to use it: https://app.box.com/s/d9wsu6u8jkcknl0r4z6x

Installation works!

Does it dynamically indicate the network status, i.e. there's no bars when wifi is down?

Yes. If there is no network, you will get a "no network" icon. signal bars should also update with varying wifi signal strength (of connected network)
