Battery monitor showing a useless, unhelpful lightning bolt symbol
SUMMARY
The new battery plasmoid is really terrible. When changing power profiles
whilst connected to power, it becomes entirely useless and doesn't report the
current percentage, just a leaf or lightning bolt symbol. This is a terrible UI
design and defeats the purpose of even having the battery icon in the first
place.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on battery icon
2. Set performance profile to "Power Save" or "Performance"
3. Observe system tray icon. It no longer reports the current charge level.
OBSERVED RESULT
Battery icon is replaced by a static, non-changing Lightning bolt or Leaf
symbol
EXPECTED RESULT
Battery icon should always show the current charge level. Otherwise it defeats
the purpose of having a battery icon at all. Make this feature a toggle option
in the plasmoid's settings or perhaps have this feature as a separate system
tray icon that only appears when needed..
