Bug Description
The icon displayed in the new notification area in 9.04 when a laptops power source is changed from AC to battery is just plain uninformative.
All that is displayed is a generic computer screen icon with a horizontal bar beside it... No text, no battery or plug icon to inform the user as to what is going on.
Recommendation:
Pop-up a second bubble which includes battery/AC icon to inform the user as to their current power source.
Also, include a remaining power % and estimated usage time when switching to battery power, if the hardware in question supports it.

To post a comment you must log in.
Kindly add .png/.jpg screenshots. of the icon on both switch.
Also this seems to be a bug in your install, the switch from AC to battery must show a icon and with a lowered brightness level.
Or you must have edited the brightness level of the battery state to 100% also.
And the solution you are proposing cannot be done as you mention, since there are specifications, kindly read the https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/NotifyOSD and its guidelines.
A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.
