Bug ID: 415692
Summary: charging/discharging status is not obvious from icon
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.15.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Battery Monitor
Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de
Reporter: k...@dhardy.name
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY: not obvious whether battery is charging / discharging from icon
SOLUTION: use significantly different icons for charging and discharging states
Using Plasma with the Breeze theme, the system tray has a small, mostly black,
battery icon. When charging, there is a lightning-bolt symbol on the battery.
The problem is that the lightning-bolt symbol is very hard to see on a
retina-level screen (~270 DPI), thus it is not obvious whether the charger is
connected or not.
(Yes, one can probably make all icons larger. I don't want that: part of the
point of a high-resolution laptop screen is to get lots of content on the
screen. Other than this little detail, icons are clear enough at ~20 pixels
across.)
