 The active location is only changed when the preferences application is closed.
+
+All text controls displaying IP addresses have a context menu with two entries: "`Copy`" and "`Open in Browser`".
+
+=== Base (Alternative) ===
+An alternative to the base UI could be:
+
+{{{
+Location: [Home \/]
+
+Computer name: [laptop_______]
+Connect on demand: [My ISP \/]  (Only modems and VPNs)
+
+|- Networks ----------------------------------------------|
+|Ethernet
+| Automatic configuration successful.
+|Ethernet 2
+| No Cable
+|My ISP
+| Disconnected
+|Wireless
+| Establishing
+|Work VPN
+| Disconnected

+|---------------------------------------------------------|
+ Add: [Network \/] [Edit] Move to: [Location \/]  [Remove]
+
+ [x] Show networks icon in Deskbar
+
+[Revert All]
+}}}
+
+When you click on "`[Edit]`" the window displays the network's preferences:
+{{{
+Location: [Home \/]
+
+Computer name: [laptop_______]
+Connect on demand: [My ISP \/]  (Only modems and VPNs)
