Bug ID: 493601
Summary: New profile badge is not visible when battery
percentage is enabled
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Battery Monitor
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@iyanmv.com
CC: k...@privat.broulik.de, natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I think this change
(https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/merge_requests/399) was a step in
the right direction, but unfortunately the badge is not visible when the
percentage is shown. Also, I think the badge is too small for thin panels
(including the default one).
One possible solution that I think it would work is to make the battery icon
vertical instead of horizontal. It could be centered when not showing the
battery percentage, and on the left next to the percentage number when this is
enabled. Android does a similar thing here. The badge could be put in the
center of the battery icon using all the space. I think this solution would
work nicely in both vertical and horizontal panels.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable percentage in power and battery applet
2. Switch between different power profiles
OBSERVED RESULT
Percentage hides most of the badge. Only a small corner is visible. Even
without the number, the badge looks too small in my opinion.
EXPECTED RESULT
It is nice to always keep the battery icon. I like how the MR fixed that. But I
still think a better solution is possible, one that works for vertical and
horizontal panels, also thin ones, and with or without the percentage of
battery being shown.
