I like the use of the batter icons, but i dont think we need to label them so
much. Maybe a Battery label above the icons, the icons centered with the
percentages below:
Battery [level? power? anything?]:
_ _
||| |||
||| |||
80% 100%
I'm not sure a progress bar is the best way to show cpu frequency (if a cpu
can be throttled). It doesnt look like you can configure it from here, so it
is purely informational? If that is the case, I think a written description
would be better: High/Full, Mid, Low ... 100% 60% 30% ... or whatever.
What are the brown things under performance? They look like coffee beans :)
Are they buttons to toggle the current profile?
I think the icons should match on the brightness meter. instead of a sun it
should be a lightbulb. I think it still needs a label.
What does disabling warnings do? Also, similar to the discussion we had with
Sebas, that might be better as [X] Show warnings instead of [ ] Disable
warnings. It should be in sentence case with the first letter capitalized
More should be capitalized
Now that I see this in the plasma style, i agree with chani that we probably
dont need an undo due to the presentation and limited functionality. however,
as more of these popups contain more functionality, we'll have to be sure the
user can make changes and not make mistakes if they are distracted and
misconfigure or reconfigure something.
