By "directly" I mostly wanted to express a general idea, not a precise
implementation. I want the list of circuits to be available by clicking
(somehow) on the green onion and not having to go through menus. That
could be, from quickest to manipulate to the longest:
1. Clicking on the green onion opens a popup (like for Florence) with
the list of circuits. That would be the most integrated solution but
depends on the information in that popup to be dense enough. On your
current screenshot for example, I'm not sure we should keep built but
unused circuits. We might only list currently used circuits. I'm not
sure either whether the detail of the relay need to be that complete.
2. Clicking on the green onion opens Tor Monitor is a window.
3. Clicking on the green onion opens a menu, and clicking on an item
from that menu open Tor Monitor in a window. That's your solution if I
understand correctly. But I'm not sure to understand what the menu
brings, as "Tor is ready" is already the message provide by the onion
being green.

Agreed. The big picture of #7437 hasn't been defined yet. Maybe at
RightsCon :)
Regarding the onion being monochrome to fit better in GNOME. Why not.
That's interesting too but needs to be put in perspective with #7437.
But I guess that changing the icon at some point in the future should be
easy.
