https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483805 --- Comment #26 from Nate Graham --- Git commit 3e3c0be1c11dea98714bb23e60443f96769387d2 by Nate Graham. Committed on 03/07/2024 at 14:20. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. BatteryIcon: let it optionally show a power profile badge This commit gives BatteryIcon the ability to be given the name of a power profile icon and append it to the end of the icon name it asks the icon for. This facilitates work to badge the battery icon with the power profile when it's in a non-default power profile state. There is no effect when using an icon theme without the requisite icons; it'll simply fall back to the status quo.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483805 --- Comment #23 from Louis Moureaux --- Having used Plasma 6.1 for a while now, I still miss the battery icon while charging. I check battery information when I consider unplugging my laptop, for instance to visit a colleague or to limit overheating from the battery (bad controller). So I'd like to see the battery icon at all times, except maybe when the battery is full and I'm on the default power profile. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I understand the reasoning, but in my opinion, this behavior should be optional. I installed 6.1 today and was absolutely baffled that I am no longer able to see my battery status (charging/discharging) and percentage. This functionality is so common and expected by default on all battery powered devices that not having it, not even as an option, feels very wrong. It feels like a bug rather than an intended feature. I would really appreciate an option to "Always show battery charge level" instead of power profile icons. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

--- Comment #18 from Nate Graham ---
Ah you're right, criticality is a feature of the charge level, not another
dimension of them. And the 24px icons are are auto-generated from the 22px
icons, so you can ignore those for the purpose of determining how many unique
icons need to be created. So it looks like only 66 base icons, and 132 new
power profile variant icons.
If you're willing to create all these icons, that would be *amazing*. No one
being willing to do the work was always the problem in the past.
Also note that the Qt SVG renderer currently doesn't support rendering clip
paths, so those would need to be transformed into strokes.
In terms of naming, the new icons would ideally be named identically to the
base icon with the addition of a `-profile-{powersave,performance}` suffix
tacked onto the end. That way when those icons aren't present in the theme, the
icon loader would fall back to the base icons.
This could be shaping up to a wonderful solution.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483805 --- Comment #17 from Louis Moureaux --- The status quo is quite bad for me because I keep my system in power saving mode most of the time, so I can no longer see the battery level. But I appreciate having a status icon for power profiles as well. There are icons in 4 sizes (16/22/24/32) for 11 charge levels (000 to 100) and charging/not charging variants. All others are symbolic links. The way I made the icon is fairly straightforward: 1. Took one of the normal battery icon 2. Drew a simplified 8x8 leaf icon 3. Made a clipping shape by extruding the leaf by 1px 4. Subtracted the clipping shape from the normal battery icon Then I hand-tuned one node to avoid a weird shape but a better clipping path would do the job as well. I could automate this procedure to generate as many icons as needed from the emblems and clipping paths. I'd just have to draw 8 shapes and write a small script (hopefully the renderer supports clipping?), which is quite in the realm of feasibility. Creating the icons for Breeze is not an issue. The same logic could probably be implemented in QML, reducing the total number of icons but some of them would become quite technical. Switching to per-profile icons would send users back to the previous status quo. Whether this is an acceptable regression is IMHO something the maintainers should arbitrate. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483805 --- Comment #16 from Nate Graham --- Those icons look pretty good! Note that we would need over 200 versions of them: Start with 10 base icons for charge levels ...multiplied by 2 charge states (plugged in and unplugged) ...multiplied by 2 levels of criticality (critical and normal) ...multiplied by 3 icon sizes (16px, 22px, and 32px) Thus, we already have 120 battery icons. So multiply that by two new power states: 240. That's how many new icons you would have to create. Also note that users using 3rd-party icon themes would lose the ability to distinguish power profiles until their icon themes added all 240 new icons. A final note: if more power profiles are ever added, that's another 120 new icons that need to be created per new power profile, as opposed to the status quo which requires only one new icon. See also https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Design/Frequently_Discussed_Topics#Battery_status_icon_and_charge_percentage. >From a visual perspective, I think adding these new icons is probably the best approach, but the details I just mentioned are things to keep in mind. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Would prefer to have only the graphical battery icon as I explained, admittedly rudely myself, in the other thread. It's simply a matter of personal preference, nothing more. I don't have time to keep arguing about this or debating the practicality of it.
