https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471369 Natalie Clarius changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |FIXED Status|REOPENED|RESOLVED --- Comment #12 from Natalie Clarius --- I do understand there is a difference between having to read a percentage and seeing it in an icon and that you prefer the latter; what I'm saying was that I'm not convinced this is a strong enough reason to outweigh the benefits of what was wished for here and implemented so that it would warrant reverting the change or adding an extra configuration option for it. As said, I'm open to reconsider if I get opinions from more than one user or new insights on the other bug report, but the issue described in this thread is fixed, so let's keep it to the point. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471369 --- Comment #11 from Logan Turner --- I don't know how much clearer I can make this: I've reiterated multiple times. > What value does the battery picture provide over it? How does seeing the > charge level percentage not solve your problem which is to "report the > current percentage"? That is not what we want. I've already explained my reasoning for preferring always being able to see a graphical indicator rather than a text one. For developers, perhaps this is the preferred readout but not all of us are developers. However, to avoid this going even more downhill than it already has let's move past this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471369 Natalie Clarius changed: What|Removed |Added Status|REOPENED|RESOLVED Resolution|--- |FIXED --- Comment #10 from Natalie Clarius --- I don't see where I was being rude, I was simply asking you what the remaining problems are. "just stupid", on the other hand, is. I'm still not convinced that a graphical depiction of the charge level while plugged in outweighs the usefulness of an inhibition and power mode indicator, given that we already have the percentage label to convey that information even more accurately, and that the battery icon is already unconditionally shown when not charging. I also don't think this is enough of a problem that a configuration option is warranted here; not every detail must or can be configurable, and part of KDE's customizability means that there is the option of creating a custom widget to suit specific needs. You can reopen the other bug report as wishlist and I'll reconsider if there are more people who think this was a change for the worse, but the issue described in this thread is solved. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471369 --- Comment #9 from Logan Turner --- There is no need for this rude attitude. Some users like myself simply prefer having a graphical indicator for battery, and taking it away in favour of a static icon is just stupid, to be completely honest. I've already offered alternate solutions, that is users who dislike the new change can disable seeing these new static icons. Some may prefer having a text readout instead, but again, that is an option users can make. Isn't the whole point of KDE to be flexible and customisable to everyone's needs? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

What we are asking for is to not see these two leaf/lightning symbols at all, just show the battery indicator. The same behaviour as was used on Plasma 5. Make these extra, static symbols a toggle option that users can enable/disable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

We considered having it always reflect the active profile, but this would mean obscuring the battery, and there isn't room to fit them both in there. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
