I am still in my customization process within this great distro and I am wondering if there is a way to get an better control of the indicators. I reactivated the indicators, now I am getting two network indicator icons what I want to fix. Also can someone tell me where I can find the icons for the indicators in order to get them changes?
Thank you very much
