Applet request...

[Paul Ladouceur]

OK, like I said, i've re-touched the ICONS... Hope that you like them...

I notice a little problem with the transfer rate shown on the applet... 
When you set the pannel to small or tiny, the transfer rate get's over 
the LEDS and is tough to read!

Maybe you should only put this information in a "bubble text" when the 
pointer is over the applet... This would eliminate the trouble of small 
and tiny pannels... And we would have more space for the LEDS 
information...  Or the for another alternative: Get an option in the 
properties that would enable/disable the transfer rate display... But 
this will not help the bug that people will have for small/tiny pannels!

Regards,
Ti-Paul.

NB: I've retouched the phone but haven't put much effort into it for now...
