Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubuntu-mono
Since the Ubuntu-Monochrome 0.0.26 upload, the battery status icon now
goes critical red with over an hour to spare.
We need to confirm this in Ayatana-Design, but my hunch is the following
would be more useful:
external power: normal text colour (ivory/chocolate for Ambiance/Radiance)
>=1:00 remaining: normal text colour
< 1:00 remaining: orange non-critical warning
<=0:10 remaining: red critical warning
<=0:02 remaining: red critical warning if suspend/hibernate action selected
and proven working
<=0:02 remaining: red critical (flashing) warning if simply going to power-off
Additionally, the Ubuntu Mono 0.0.26 change uses a battery icon with no
fill for empty. This is not as clear to the user as an icon that
instead uses a very small fill at end of the battery, even for zero.
This is more intuitive as it makes it clear that the icon is used as a
percentage indicator; with an empty fill the user must already know
this for "empty" to be useful as a relative indicator.
At the moment, the "Red with some left" state seen at 1:10 remaining is
far more visible to the user than the (more serious) completely empty
icon.
