1028894 - [meta] Desktop client toolbar icon needs visual indications of client status

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Hello (Loop) :: Client, defect, P2)

Description

[Romain Testard [:RT]]

The desktop client toolbar icon should be able to inform the user about the following states:
* Non registered and functional (Internet connectivity, Infrastructure up, ...)
* Registered and functional (Internet connectivity, Infrastructure up, ...)
* Non functional (some issue preventing to use Loop)

Darrin please add link to UX when ready.

Comment 2

[Darrin Henein [:darrin]]

There are 5 states as per the spec here: https://people.mozilla.org/~dhenein/labs/loop-mvp-spec/#toolbar

Rather than permanently differentiate registered and non-registered users, I'm proposing we highlight the icon (Active State) to alert the user that they have been signed in, but revert to the Normal icon after they click on the panel. The Panel UI itself makes it very clear whether a user is signed in or not. 

Perhaps once we have true presence indication, these icons can evolve.

Also note that Active and Action states have 2 layers, with the top image's opacity fading in and out to alert the user. Inspect the CSS in the spec for timing, etc.

If we return error messages to the user as they happen (like when trying to register or make a call0, I believe this can wait until Fx 35.

[Romain Testard [:RT]]

Agreed

Comment 7

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Now we've got the UX defined, swapping this to a meta bug; we'll need to do more breakdown on it when we get near to estimating it.
