Description Nick Shaforostoff 2012-06-27 15:41:24 UTC 
... or rewrite the new icon to be like the old one.

with new icon it is now hard to understand what the level of the battery charge. it is the case when gradients make it worse. in result battery icon is not useful anymore

the old icon (from KDE 4.8) was consistent with kmix and networkmanager, not it creates a mess.

Reproducible: Always

i attach a screenshot which illustrates usability regression.
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2012-06-27 18:28:12 UTC 
Odd, because I still have the monochrome icon (4.9 rc1)
Comment 3 Maarten De Meyer 2012-06-27 22:36:26 UTC 
I also have the monochrome icon, how does it look when you add a new battery indicator to a panel? (note panel, not systray)
Comment 4 Nick Shaforostoff 2012-06-28 04:27:55 UTC 
maybe this installation problem?

i cannot add widgets: http://videoteka.kiev.ua/widget-add-fail.png

yes, definitely looks like a local, or maybe packaging problem. the battery icon is supposed to be still the old one.

does somebody with the same ubuntu packages encounter the same problem?
Comment 6 Julia 2012-07-06 00:35:40 UTC 
I'm usuing Kubuntu with KDE v. 4.8.90 (note: not 4.8.80), packages retrieved from the kubuntu beta backports ppa.  I do not share this problem in the system tray.  However, when the battery monitor widget is launched, the battery level indicator in the widget matches that of the system tray, rather than the old widget which was significantly different; is this intentional, or should I file a new bug?

Checking with RC2: Works here. It either was a Plasma issue and it's now fixed or (more likely) it was a packaging problem. Closing it.
