Description
Hello,
It would be nice if the two arrows icon on left of throughput display changed, depending on the type of active interface (either wireless, wired ethernet, or ppp interface) and the network status (active or not), like it is in Mate netspeed applet. The latter would be most useful to know if the network is active or not (since I use most often a ppp interface, I cannot rely on nm-applet to know it).
Thanks,
Denis

Research direction
Start by locating the indicator's icon update entry point and reviewing how it identifies wireless, wired Ethernet, and PPP interfaces and their active status. Done means the two arrows icon changes for each requested interface type and correctly distinguishes active from inactive network status.
