It’s unfortunately common that when someone experiences faulty software, they assume the fault must be intentional, so they ask for an option to unbreak it. No, the software should just be fixed. It might be the case that Ubuntu does not yet allow Spotify clients to stream in the background. If

2016-05-22 Thread Matthew Paul Thomas
I should have realized I was wrong about the menu using symbols, because all the other icons are reversed in indicators vs. System Settings too! I suggest that the icons be more like the ones I sketched in the wireframe: brightness-min is a small sun, while brightness-max is a big sun.

Confirmed. I guess this is because the slider is using Unicode symbols rather than real icons. In the battery menu, the symbols make sense because the text is white, so the solid sun is white. System Settings used to use a light-on-dark color scheme, but now uses a dark-on-light one, so the solid

The same problem happens with the brightness slider in System Settings. So this is not a problem with indicator-power, it is a problem with the shell. I don’t think it’s healthy for the brightness slider to have to know about, and ignore, Unity altering the system brightness for locking purposes

Sadi, which device is shown in the menu title is unrelated to this bug, because the same icon is supposed to be shown for the device inside the menu as well. If the problem occurs inside the menu as well, it’s probably a missing or misreferenced icon; if it doesn’t, it’s probably an inconsistency
