Documentation on OSX Bluetooth status icons?

[RAMd®d]

The standard BT icon (the stylized B) has been replaced with a gray version with three dots across it.

I don't know if that means a BT device is paired, or what.

Apple Help isn't, and Googling hasn't turned up anything either.

Can anybody point me to some docs?

Up in your Mac's menubar, you mean?

Mine becomes as you describe whenever I connect to my phone. I just "browsed" the phone's folder structure (i.e. connected to it) and the menubar changed.

But I wouldn't say it's paired, but rather paired AND connected.

And you'd get another symbol (can't recall what it looks like just now) if you had Bluetooth enabled/turned on but disconnected/removed the BT antenna or dongle from the Mac.

Thanks, guys.

I just never noticed the change. In the 'Phone, the icon's symbol stays the same, it's just grayed out if there's no BT headset selected.

I confuse easily.

Article, THANKS!

Your resource kung-fu is strong.

My googlling took me to the Apple Discussin boards; it didn't even occur to me to use the AKB.

Thanks again.
