@ ugo vallauri The tray icon is a long term signal, meanwhile the dialog shows the status of the attempted enable/disable operation and reports if it was successfull or if (and at which stage) there were some errors, therefore I don't plan to remove it for now.

Thanks for this, very useful. I would like to suggest only one improvement: I would prefer if the screen-wide message "WLAN DISABLED" didn't require tapping to disappear. Maybe it is not so important to receive such a message, since you developed such a nice icon for the disabled wlan? :)

Simple, but useful WiFi on/off switcher plugin. I don't use WiFi connections so I really needed to turn this thing off. Many thanks to the developer!
