>> What steps will reproduce the problem?
When HTTP is allowed, tray icon, window icon, and task bar (well, task bar
is /supposed/ to) icon change to yellow.
>> What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Would prefer the _option_ to disable this behavior, though I will say if it
is implemented, the changing to yellow feature should be enabled by
default, because it is informative and useful.
After using PeerGuardian2 and now PeerBlock for a good 2 years, I am simply
not paranoid enough to meticulously enable every single web page I visit or
to remember to re-enable HTTP blocking every time I'm not browsing, and in
either case, perm. allowing firewall, AV, etc IPs to update when I'm not
around.
And the yellow tray icon plus eventual (when it's fixes) giant yellow
taskbar icon are distracting. I have no problem keeping the window icon
yellow, though perhaps for the more particular user the option should
probably disable the yellow-ing of that as well.
>> What version of PeerBlock are you using? On what operating system? 32-
or 64-bit?
1.0+ Beta v320 on Windows 7 32-bit
Sidenote:
I'm curious if you might consider backfilling the "Blocking # IPs" and
"HTTP is Allowed" boxes with green/red or blue/yellow/red to indicate their
status more obviously as well. Optionally, of course, because a big red
"HTTP is allowed" box would be distracting since I have PeerBlock always
open on my second monitor.
