Bug Description

In Lucid 'invisible' status icon in indicator applet in not illustrative enough. It's very easy to confuse it with 'online' icon.
I think that showing outline as invisible status icon will solve this.

Thank you for reporting this paper cut. This is a valid paper cut, so I'm accepting it and adding a task for the icon set.

We could use the icon similar to the invisible status one from humanity.

I've attached a comparison of available and invisible status icons in the panel. It's hard to see which status in set on low-contrast monitors and newbies also can't tell one from the other sometimes.
