[01:56] <robertj> hey all, does anyone else feel that the battery icon looks good but is actually kinda hard to distinguish between the 40% & 20% demarcations?
[01:57] <troy_s> robertj: Probably.  A good thing to talk about in tango, as I think Human falls back to that for the battery icon.
[01:58] <robertj> troy_s: I don't think so, it changes on mine, and in fact is even more difficult
[01:59] <troy_s> robertj: Look in /usr/share/icons/Human and see if you can find it, if not, it is a Tango icon.
[01:59] <troy_s> robertj: and then it becomes a tango issue.
[01:59] <troy_s> robertj: And you can always find the SVG, subtly modify it, and hope that it gets accepted.
[02:01] <robertj> troy_s: I don't see it in there but it changes when I change icon theme between human and tango
[02:02] <robertj> ahh apps/gpm-blah
[02:02] <troy_s> robertj: Ok
[02:03] <troy_s> robertj: So it is a human icon?
[02:03] <robertj> yes
[02:03] <troy_s> robertj: Head into the /scalable section and see if you can track it down in SVG format
[02:03] <robertj> Human/22x22/apps
[02:03] <troy_s> robertj: From there, see if you can modify the svg colours a bit that might make it more useful.
[02:04] <troy_s> robertj: All you can do is try... sometimes one person's belief is a little different than anothers... and without a solid design direction, it is a relatively fickle choice.
[02:04] <robertj> troy_s: no batteries in scalable
[02:04] <robertj> troy_s: i'm also on a pretty high dpi display
[02:04] <robertj> 1680x1050 on 15"
[02:05] <troy_s> robertj: Well that is a bloody bug... Canonical needs to get their shit together and get the fecking svg's out of IconFactory.
[02:06] <robertj> troy_s: what is that thing inside the battery when it is charging anyway?
[02:06] <robertj> it looks like a small tree perhaps
[02:06] <robertj> but at 22x22 it is hard to tell
[02:07] <troy_s> robertj: I can't really begin to discuss the bloody difficulties with design for a project such as Ubuntu, but I would possibly consider registering a bug.
[02:07] <troy_s> robertj: It seems the only attention is given to bugs.
[02:29] <robertj> troy_s: I think the real deal is that the pixmaps < 32px, yellow isn't high enough contrast to show up well and so the whole thing needs to me more or less monochrome with a shade that matches the NetworkManager applet
