Universal indicator pop-up

Universal indicator pop-up is touch-only component. It is activated by tapping the universal indicators or the digital clock. It always includes battery and connectivity indicators and digital clock. For each visible universal indicator, there is one row reserved in the pop-up for displaying the icon and the description text. Hence, the user can view the indicator displayed in the Universal Indicator pane. The description text also informs the current status and/or it may be a link to a view in corresponding application. For example, by tapping the text “3 new messages” opens the relevant view from the messaging application, tapping “Bluetooth active” switches view to the Bluetooth settings. Content of the row is determined by the application originating the indicator.
