Not sure if this is the correct component to write the feature request to. It belongs to the KDE Plasma battery and brightness widget. Please move this request if necessary. Feature request: ================ I've changed battery and brightness widget on my notebook to show percentage which is more detailed. Unfortunately this does not show if it is connected to power and the battery is loading. It would be great to combine the icon for battery (loading) with percentage. Kubuntu: 19.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.65.0
Works for me. There were some upower regressions related to this which IIRC got fixed recently. Can you test again in Kubuntu 21.04? Thanks!
Hi Nate, I upgraded to Kubuntu 21.04 and made a screenshot that shows the missing icon for connected to power. Doing this I recognized in the screenshot with a large zoom factor that indeed there is an icon showing the power connected/not connected status. But it is not visible thus the percentage is in front of a very shaded battery icon. I use an UHD notebook display with screen resolution 3840x2160 - so maybe this looks different here? If have uploaded screenshots from the widget icon how it's looking here: https://owncloud.gwdg.de/index.php/s/wv3opo3d0gcX4MF Thanks!
Your screenshots depict that the correct icon is in fact being used. The "charging" case shows a tiny little green plug in the battery. The issue seems to be that the icons are not colored properly for you. It should be a light color, like all the other icons. Since the original issue is now fixed, can you file a new bug report for the issue of the icon not being colored properly? Thanks!
Thanks Nate! I opened a new bug report for this issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437243
