Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs It was OK in KDE 4.2.1, but it's very unaesthetic (and unusable in addition) now in 4.2.2. See the attached image!
Created attachment 32681 [details] battery level monitor widget
Does this happen with every battery widget you add ? Also, can you try with putting it inside a Panel.. or changing the Plasma theme? Thanks
Created attachment 32684 [details] Another screenshot It behaves the same way both on the desktop and the panel, with every theme (some of them are even worse), and regardless of the number of displayed battery icons. (See this image.)
What Plasma theme are you using? Can you try with another one ? Thanks
Currently oxigen, but I've tried EVERY single theme, and it was broken with each of them for me. I'm using x86_64 openSUSE11.1, and my KDE comes from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1
Do you have two batteries?
(In reply to comment #6) > Do you have two batteries? Yes, but when I set this widget not to show each of them (that is to show only one icon), then that single icon will be shift rightwards the same way.
That's an interesting detail. Thanks
Created attachment 32688 [details] Widget after re-attaching the second battery OK, I've restarted my machine with a single battery, and it behaved the same way. Then I re-attached the second bettery on the fly (!), and the KDE battery widget immediately recognized it, but it become even more ugly (see the attached image).
Created attachment 32914 [details] Another screenshot (with full batteries) This is the exact same bug that I also experienced. Here's a screenshot. I'm on Gentoo Linux, x86-64. My batteries are actually full, but thats another other bug (batteries showing up empty when 100% charged), I think.
Still applies to 4.2.3
Created attachment 34241 [details] Patch for battery.cpp This is a patch for the plasma workspace file plasma/applets/battery/battery.cpp in KDE 4.2.3 which fixes this bug for me (both vertical and horizontal panels). Switching whether it shows multiple batteries doesn't work fine, because the applet doesn't resize. Neither could I make it show multiple batteries on the desktop. PS: I hope you fix this soon.
I can confirm this bug, too. I'm using Jaunty on a "Thinkpad T61" with one system battery and one additional ultrabay battery. They are correctly detected, but: - the battery symbols are displaced out of the widget's space in control panel (see screenshot batterymonitorbug.png) - the battery symbols are also discplaced in the popup window of the widget (see screenshot batterymonitorbugpopup.png) Hints: - the capacity percentage captions/overlays are displayed correctly (see screenshot batterymonitorbugperc.png) - the lighting-symbols (showing that main cable is connected) have also correct positions - with only one battery plugged in everything works fine
