SUMMARY I saw my battery icon turn red saying it had low battery but when I hovered over it was at 14%. In my Power Settings (KCM) it is set to 10% is low, 5% is critical. I think the icon should follow those values when determining when to show a red power icon. The user could even chose to show it at critical or low depending on their preference. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have battery below 15% (I assume this is the marker) 2. Battery icon is now red OBSERVED RESULT Icon goes red before low/critical values in Power Settings EXPECTED RESULT Icon goes red only at/below low/critical values in Power Settings Everything built from git master
Right now this is determined by the icons themselves, and the ones for 20% battery or less are hardcoded to be red. In principle we could re-color the black icons to be red at different thresholds. Would take some doing though.
Yeah, I think having one monochrome icon and recolouring it if that is possible based on current charge percentage would be ideal.
