Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs I have an attachement of how the energy info dialog currently looks like: 1. The remaining time text is too large. Why are you using descriptive language here? 2. There seems to be more text next to "Tiefschlaf". What is it?
Created attachment 32675 [details] the energy info dialog
The whole dialog layout looks faulty, text is even cut off vertically. This should never happen in a properly laid out widget.
can someone who has seen this problem please check again with 4.3? thanks
Created attachment 33225 [details] Dialog from SVN KDE 4.3 I've built the newest SVN version with kdesvn-build. Here the dialog seems to be worse. However I am not sure that this is the most recent version from the SVN. How can I check this?
Similar problem with french locale in KDE 4.2.3: the texts near the buttons for "suspend to ram", "suspend to disk" and "more..." are cut. It would maybe be better to remove the button texts completely, and show their description in a tooltip when the mouse hovers them. See attached screenshot.

Can you please test this with latest trunk ? It should be fixed now (at least the icon and combobox layout issues).
Created attachment 34448 [details] SVN revision 980360 For me the dialog did not really improve.
sorry, what's wrong in that dialog? (besides the white text on the widget; theme error there)
1. The abbreviated Labels "Ruhezust..." "Tiefschlaf..." "Mehr ...". Maybe only the first one is abbreviated. 2. The descender of the "g" is cut away. 3. The two labels "Akku" and "Netzkabel" are in bold. And Akku information spans two lines. This leads to the impression that the word "Bildschirm-Helligkeit" belongst to "Netzkabel". 4. The combobox and the button for "Ruhezustand" are not left aligned. And both together are not aligned with the labels Energieprofil and Aktionen. 5. A dark light bulb is missing at the left side of the slider.

Please check if this is still a issue in trunk, the layout has been reworked: http://vizzzion.org/blog/2009/11/battery-applet-the-sequel/
Right now in 4.3.77 layout is completely broken for me (bug 215454)
Created attachment 38763 [details] Dialog from SVN revision 1057075 I've tested the dialog from trunk and it is better. However there are some issues: 1. Not everything is translated. I cannot check whether a longer translation breaks the dialog. 2. The label "Energieprofil" and the combobox "Performane" are not correctly aligned. 3. The label "Bildschirm-Helligkeit" and the slider are not correctly aligned. The slider should be in the middle of the x-height of the characters. 4. The slider is visually too light. 5. The setting of the brightness can be done only in steps on my notebook. Is a slider the correct widget for something like that? 6. The buttons "Ruhezustand" and "Tiefschlaf (Hibernate)" should be recognizable as buttons. Why not using normal dialog buttons? After changing them to real buttons I would remove the icons. They do not add anything here. 7. The button to edit energy profiles is easily missed. Make it a real button. I would also remove the icon and label it: "Edit Energy Profiles" 8. Colons are missing after "Bildschirm-Helligkeit" and "Energieprofil" 9. The horizontal alignment of "Ruhezustand" and "Tiefschlaf (Hibernate)" does not fit to the rest of the dialog. The second button looks like it should be aligned to the other elements that are right of a label. A cleaner separation would help. Maybe making the buttons real buttons will already help.
Changing status as the info is given.
1. Which translations are missing? Is it not translated in the applet, or "just" in your language? 2., 3. Fixed 4. Belongs to libplasma, please file a new bug for this 5. Sliders often show stepped information, and the stepping can vary from only a couple (7 on my thinkpad) to 100 as I've seen on other hardware. I think a slider works OK with both extremes 6. They standard buttons used from plasma, if anything's wrong with it, file a bug against the plasma widgets 7. This is done on purpose, the thing has a tooltip, but I think its appearance is largely a matter of taste 8. needs fixing post-string freeze 9. I don't see how "real" buttons help, but putting them on top of each other will waste space As the tangible issues have been fixed, I'm closing this bug as those "aggregate reports" aren't that useful. Thanks for your input!
Standard buttons have a border and are visually above the background. Are plasma buttons different?
