Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Hello! This is about the latest-version Gnome Power Manager in Ubuntu
Gutsy.
(1) The graph colors are used inconsistently between the various graphs.
For instance, the Charge time accuracy profile uses blue for valid data
and black for no data, the Charge time profile uses blue for no data and
red for valid data, the Discharge time accuracy profile uses red for
valid data but black for no data, and the Discharge time profile uses
red for valid data, blue for no data, and some dark color (green?
brown?) for extrapolated data.
I think these should be standardized on something like green=valid,
red=no data, blue=extrapolated.
Black and other dark colors aren't easy to distinguish on many displays.
They are used by the first three graphs (Power/time/charge history),
maybe they should be replaced with brighter versions. For instance,
orange is easy to differentiate from red and yellow, usually. Also, red
and magenta (two "useful" colors) are used in those graphs for suspend
and hibernate; since there isn't much data on those periods (as far as I
can tell, it's only extrapolated from the before and after readings),
maybe we could use one of the less "useful" colors for them. Also a
dotted line might be good for those parts (actually, that might be a
good idea for everything extrapolated).
(2) The "lines" parts of the legends are not very visible. On my machine
(I'm not sure how dependent these things are on settings), the line
legends have a one-pixel-by-ten line of the graph color, surrounded by a
one-pixel border of black. I can only diferentiate red from the dark
colors on my display, and blue if I look very closely. I think they
should be replaced by diagonal lines (or little curves), about the size
of the icons, drawn with the same antialiasing as on the graph; that
would make them more easily visible.
