Summary:
The new Wifi icon's lines are too thin, making it hard to tell if it is connected or not and get a read on single strength.

Steps to Reproduce:
Default OS configuration. Connect to a wifi network.

Expected Results:
Should show a clear indication of signal strength.

Actual Results:
On a non-retina display thinner lines make it hard to tell if they are black (strong) or grey (weak) the older, pre-Yosemite icon was clearer.

Version:
Mac OS X 10.10 build 14A238x

Notes:
The older icon was clearer, this change should be reverted or revised for clarity.

Configuration:
Any Mac without a Retina display running Yosemite DP 1
