Emilien, the 30% red is handled separately in bug #1388235. That ticket doesn't doesn't directly address mpt's discussion of coloring by percentage on phone but by time on desktop, but it may ameliorate the worst examples of this bug by improving the icons' granularity.
To color by time, we might ultimately need red and nonred versions of each discharging icon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-power in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1410495 Title: Battery indicator goes Critical Red with more than 1 hour battery left Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On my current laptop, the battery indicator shows a red-with-a-little- left icon when there is more than an hour left in the battery, which is not really appropriate for a "critical battery warning". This bug is probably a regression of #743823, and I was asked to create a new bug by @mpt: > Christoph, yes, please report a new bug including a screenshot. On phones we may have to color by percentage, but on PCs we can and should color by time remaining to avoid false alarms. A screenshot is attached. Unfortunately I didn't realize at the time that the screenshotter does not record open menus, so you'll have to take my word that the time remaining in the indicator menu was at > 1 hour. I can redo the screenshot, if necessary. fwiw, the transition levels (based on minutes left) proposed in the bug description of #743823 sound good to me.
