Depends. I would argue showing the icon according to the percentage is broken by design also, as 20% might be 7 minutes for one person or 30 minutes for another. It matters more to display the time accurately than the exact percentage level. > I think the problem is that the icon has this grey border, like a > glass border or something...

I think fedora theme the icon with the echo theme, and also ubuntu do with human. Are either of those easier to read at a glance out of interest? > Also, right now the tray is already over abused and I would be against > having to put yet another thing there.

It's not like it's there all the time. Cheers for the comments.
