    The odd moment. I was just about to upload this.

    Suggestion. Use the symbolic icon input-touchpad-symbolic instead. LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER.

    Agreed, symbolic panel icons are always the way to go when available.

    Thank you for your suggestions. Changed it already.

    You should also try to incorporate "Behaivior if a mouse is (un)plugged: Automatically switch touchpad " like on the gnome shell extension. I was working on this, but can't quite get it. I'd love to have the proccess automatic:p

    I'll have to work on the features. I can't do a one-to-one port due to the way it was written.

    I like it. Just put it on my eee netbook. Consider adding a confirm dialog if both options are disabled to prevent use from keyboard only issues.

    Hello, dalcde. I tried your applet, but it didn't work properly. For example, I turned the touchpad on by clicking on the applet. Then I tried to turn it off by pressing my keyboard shortcut Fn+F10, but the message showed I was turning it on (again). In other words, it seems the applet is not synced with the keyboard function. Any thoughts? By the way, great extension. Congratulations. :) brunces

    It doesn't show in my panel if I select it in the applet menu... I'm using LMDE 201204.
