@Mac & Steve thanks for working out the icons. I saw the icons in the source code and am not familiar with notify-osd, so your help on this is great. Let me know if there is anything you need in the code to make it work (I'm working on the upstream project).
@ Steve The percentages are more accurate since devicekit-power only receives percentage information from the battery. GPM then does a quick calculation based on past history of the battery to find how much time is left. If batteries are broken or old, the time information can be grossly inaccurate. Also, I believe the function you request (returning the correct icon with, as parameters: * guint percent_left * gboolean plugged) exists and is currently in use with gnome-power-manager. With the patched version, you may see it working since I believe Martin disabled the notify-osd patches in it. The function is in: src/gpm-devicekit.c http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/gnome-power/trunk/annotate/head%3A/src/gpm-devicekit.c [or] http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-power-manager/tree/src/gpm-devicekit.c function name: gpm_devicekit_get_object_icon [this file name is in the format of comment #16] Returns: filename as a gchar Takes one argument (DkpDevice) [DkpDevice is laptop battery, phone battery, wireless mouse battery, etc.] The function will check the battery for it's percentage and return with the correct filename. In that case, we can make the argument to drop the % since it is already included in the battery icon. And if they really want to see it, a user can open power preferences. When it comes to notifications, only the most important information should be shown - which is the time remaining. -- Feature request : Possible improvements for notifications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
