Comment 37 for bug 395666

I am the author of this fork, and try stay in sync with the newest kde-4.x versions.

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/battery+plasmoid+with+remaining+time?content=120309

Please imagine a voting among kde users for this feature, in which is also made clear the disadvantages of the remaining-time-display-method (it may jump in dependency of cpu/screen-brightness/..). I guess (I am quite sure!) that nevertheless most user would LOVE an option to display the remaining time. (would it be possible to have such a voting?) it is only an option! no default!

I would really see the devs reconsidering about this. And for newbies and fear of getting bugreports about wrong remaining time..perhaps it would be possible to show a tooltip/question-mark behind the remaining time option, that would "warn" the user of this "very bad" choice ;-)
