@Chris : The humanity icons are designed different. The icons for 20% and 0% alone are red. Which was not how it was with human icon theme. That was what this bug was about and was fixed. You can see the different icons in the /usr/share/icons/Humanity/status/24/ folder If the wrong icon is use

Hi all, I know this bug is now labelled as fixed, but it still is a problem for me. My Icon shows as almost empty (red and 2 pixels high) even though I have %25 and around 1.5 hrs remaining. I am using the default icons. Can we change this bugs status back to Confirmed and readdress it? Cheers -

Hi, I have read that you should discharge your battery only to 50% (if possible) so that might be the reason for delivering a red colour that early. I like this the way it is. Greetings, corcov -- Battery monitor is red even when 30% charge remains https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32921 You receiv

I would just like to add that ubuntu is not quite ready for a time-based approach. Currently, the power manager thinks I have 10 hours of battery life left with 10% remaining. Obviously this is not true. Other, non- papercut bugs must be fixed before we go to time-based warnings. -- Battery monit

I can't help but think that you are looking at the wrong problem.

Do we need a colored icon? Maybe a monochrome/black high contrast icon would do a better job. At low (<10%) percentage this could turn red. As the battery icon doesn't need too much visual attention, as long as it isn't necessary to charge, a black one would do a good job. Monochrome status icons

Giving some kind of notification a good while before the battery is drained empty (perhaps around 33 %) would be a good thing, since a battery can only handle a certain number of full discharges. http://batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm Of course, users would need to be educated. How about a r

The Battery color should be time based. Some laptop's netbooks have up to 6 hrs of battery life. 35% of that is around 2 hours. Possibly just having a percentage overlay on top of the battery icon that can be quickly read. Otherwise tapping into notifications a warning that appears. First "Warni

This is still a problem in edgy, the Human icon theme seems to think that less than 50% battery deserves an orange icon that looks to be about 30% full, and less than 30% is a red icon. My laptop can last almost 4 hours, so 30% equates to over an hour of power left, I hardly think that is a critic
