            Bug ID: 415073
           Summary: Battery should ideally turn into a Brightness or Power
                    icon if no batteries are on the device
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.17.4
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Battery Monitor
          Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de
          Reporter: ferenos...@outlook.com
                CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: 1.0

SUMMARY
When running off a machine that is only powered by a plugged in power source
(not a laptop or tablet) the Battery icon remains in the system tray as a
redundant item in the tray by default.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot into Neon on a no-batteries machine
2. Check the System Tray

OBSERVED RESULT
There is a no batteries detected icon in there and its only use is toggling
power management

EXPECTED RESULT
The icon would change to one of the following:
- Brightness icon if brightness can be changed still (Cinnamon)
- Power Symbol such as a lightning bolt if only toggling power management is
available

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0
Qt Version: 5.13.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Having a no batteries icon on a computer that is only powered by a plug is
pointless and just feels out of place.
