Status:Closed Resolved:Behaves correctly
Product:OS X Product Version:10.10
Classification: Reproducible:Always
 
In previous versions of OS X, the WiFi menu bar icon indicated signal strength by turning partially black. In Yosemite DP 3, it is always gray.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to a Wi-Fi network. Verify good signal strength by option-clicking the menu.
2. Look at the menu bar icon.

Expected Results:
The menu bar icon should indicate signal strength by turning the "waves" completely or partially black. 

Actual Results:
The waves are always gray. It looks like I am not connected.

Version:
OS X 10.10 (14A283o)

Notes:


Configuration:
I've tested this with two different Wi-Fi networks, and it shows the same behavior.
