    Excellent widget, could use a better look. It's exactly what i was looking for minus the color scheme. I was using an essentially identical widget that wasn't updated any more so it doesn't display the Wi-Fi ssid. This does exactly what I want but the color scheme is too flashy for my taste. Please give us the option to select different colors or just make a toned down (e.g.black and white) version.

    Edit: All good & working now. SSID names were actually shown before this recent update. All SSIDs names now appear as "Hidden". Using stock Android 10 on Galaxy 9+ with location, etc. on and with a reboot. App also does not have permission enable/disable wifi; it is no longer defined within its allowed permissions.

    Widget doesn't update, even after using it to change settings. Shows wrong information 90% of the time. No customization in regards to color or transparency. Good concept, poor execution.

    Looks amazing good ! But I wished that the DISCONNECTED state would be shown, instead of latest connected WiFi network. In Tasker the Home SSID disconnection can be checked by profile with state check "connected to home SSID" and an EXIT routine within this profile. Add a Tasker Task-Widget on desktop. The CONNECTED task should show eg. WiFi icon for the widget, the EXIT task should show eg. red triangle icon for widget. Label widget with home SSID.
