This functionality should also be configurable, if not the default, in gnome power manager. Just because Gnome's apparent philosophy is to be simplified for the user, does not mean we cannot expose extra configuration to more advanced users in the places where they traditionally look - the preferences. Sorry if this is a dupe, I'm not used to Gnome's bugzilla installation.

Specifically an option for an overlay on the panel icon to either display battery remaining in time (hrs and mins) or a percentage of battery capacity. For the purpose that it avoids having to mouseover the g-p-m icon.

We need the new applet infrastructure work so we can add ourselves to a panel like g-p-m can do with GtkStatusIcon and also be resizable and appendable like an applet can be. Ryan Lortie is working on the new applet stuff, you'll have to ask him how it's progressing.

Also thank-you for keeping the bug open and not making it a WONTFIX, I think it would improve the usefulness of g-p-m in the future, especially for laptop users.

How is the work going? Also, is there any chance of GNOME doing the colours based on time remaining rather than percentage remaining? The indicator on my 6-hour- life Thinkpad turns red when it has more usable time remaining than some laptops when fully charged!

Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: In Ubuntu 17.04 and earlier, I was able to display the amount of battery life remaining AS TIME in the top bar of my screen. Now all I'm able to display, in 17.10, is the battery percentage. Frankly, I don't give a flying fig about battery percentage, and I'm not sure most other people do either. What I care about is how much time I have left to work on my laptop before it's out of power. If you want to display _both_ the percentage and the time remaining, or allow the user to choose which to display, that would be great. But just taking away the eminently useful time remaining and replacing it with the much less useful percentage is annoying and should be fixed.
