It would be nice to add signal strength indicator (or possibly sort the Bluetooth devices in the chooser according to its signal strength) to the WebBluetooth chooser.
Thanks. For some reason I thought strength indicator wasn't possible quite yet. It's just non-Mac where we can do it, and do it now?
Will defer to bettes@ on the visuals. I like that this matches CrOS wi-fi connection. Is that where you got the icons? Will it work just like CrOS (dynamically animating connection state?)
Were you also envisioning this showing up in conjunction with "Connected" on the right side?
ah, yes, we were discussing some possible ways to display the "Connected/Paired" status along with the device name. And it seems that using multiple lines is better than using some extra columns. For the implementation, we may start from Mac and Android, since these platforms already have support for multiple lines for one row entry in the table/list view. For non-Mac desktop, we may need refactoring the current TableView to support that.
Using these icons across platform SGTM in the interim.
Long term, with crbug.com/630357, we'll be looking to revisit this UI to conform to Harmony standards and best practices which will in turn update the icons to the MD ones listed here. https://icons.googleplex.com/#signal
If a device doesn't have an icon should we still indent the name? I know mac does but I just want to be sure that's the expected behavior. Screenshots for the two options attached.
On Mac, if there is a row that has an icon, then the text in all the rows are indented. If there is no row that has an icon, then the text is not indented.
