Netctl icon and applet for Gnome Shell

The folks at NetGUI are doing a great job and I am really looking forward to a proper application.
In the meantime, I dusted off a previous Cinnamon applet I had written and updated it to work with Gnome 3.12

Screenshot:

The applet allows you to:
- switch netcl profiles
- start wifi-menu to add more profiles
- if a profile has been manually selected, you can opt to switch back to auto-connecting

I am not a developer, so my apologies if this does not meet the standards of good efficient coding. Inputs on improvements are welcome and I'll do my best to update.

You can install it from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/ … tray-menu/ (else, search for netctl Applet), or you can download the tarball from: https://app.box.com/s/d9wsu6u8jkcknl0r4z6x
I am unable to submit to AUR for some reason.

pivotraze and rest of NetGUI: please feel free to use this if you think it will be useful.

Re: Netctl icon and applet for Gnome Shell

surfatwork, thank you very much for writing this app, and the compliment for mine (and GreyHatter's) program. I love what you are doing here, and I might find a way to implement it into NetGUI.

Thank you very much!
