Created attachment 1021395 [details] Let it be true: "show-inactive" and "blink" man 1 firewall-applet GSETTINGS firewall-applet has additional settings to adapt the look and feel. The used backend depends on the distribution and can be either dconf or GConf. The path to the settings is org.fedoraproject.FirewallApplet. You can use dconf-editor or gconf-editor to see and modify them. The following settings are supported: ... show-inactive Show applet also if firewalld is not running. If firewalld has been stopped or is not running the applet will be hidden and not visible in the applet tray. Enable this setting to see the applet all the time for example to be sure that the firewall is active. This setting defaults to false. ... blink If enabled, the applet icon blinks in these cases: · Connection to firewalld lost · Panic mode has been enabled or disabled This setting defaults to false. ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ rpm -ql firewall-applet | grep org.fedoraproject.FirewallApplet.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.fedoraproject.FirewallApplet.gschema.xml ~~~ /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.fedoraproject.FirewallApplet.gschema.xml: ... <schemalist> <schema path="/org/fedoraproject/FirewallApplet/" id="org.fedoraproject.FirewallApplet"> ... <key type="b" name="blink"> <default>false</default> <summary>Applet icon blinks if true blink-count times</summary> </key> ... <key type="b" name="show-inactive"> <default>false</default> <summary>Show applet also if firewalld is not running</summary> </key> </schema> </schemalist> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dconf dump /org/fedoraproject/FirewallApplet/ dconf write /org/fedoraproject/FirewallApplet/show-inactive true dconf write /org/fedoraproject/FirewallApplet/blink true dconf dump /org/fedoraproject/FirewallApplet/ [/] show-inactive=true blink=true ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let it be "true", these two settings exposed via GSettings: "Show applet also if firewalld is not running" i.e. "show-inactive" & "Applet icon blinks" i.e. "blink" In this way, it is more clear what is happening. Moreover, it is worthwhile to implement them as is "Applet shows notifications" i.e. "notifications", so they can be enabled also in the applet with the checkbox in the right mouse menu.
