• yellow if its greater than that but still below 100 milliseconds
• orange: more than 100 ms but less than 1 second
• red: more than 1s or no ping at all

Clicking in the icon will present the measurement of previous pings:

Then, if you do changes, you need to update it:

In both cases, plasmashell needs to be restarted (totally sucks):

kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell
