[system settings] Colors of battery usage difficult to distinguish

[Ivo Xavier]

Hi,

When viewing the battery usage, it's hard to users to view the yellow color since the background is white.

This was debated here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+question/274652

Since the member send an email to the mailing list asking how to fill a bug, I opened for him.

Thanks

Right, agreed, unsure what to change though, do you have a suggestion?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

We could put a black background.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

it's a call for design but I think it wouldn't look nice and look out of style with the other pages of settings

[Ivo Xavier (ivoxavier)]

I think the best solution is to redesign the current design. And by this I mean, look to android L: see attachment [screenshot]

With this we kill to birds in one shot. And if in the future some color scheme is made, we do not have to set individuals colors to fit the changes, just one. We could replace the 'green' by the ubuntu orange scheme. Instead of having only one multicolor line that not fit with many colors

[Cesar Herrera (chg1)]

We could put a line of 3 parts. In the central one the colour and on both sides black lines. This way we have the white background

I vote for filled area proposed by Ivo Xavier. It's easier to see and gives more meaning to graph.

[Jonas G. Drange (jonas-drange)]

This is the proposed new design [1] of the battery graph. Let's discuss that one instead, since it's a filled area and arguably makes the yellow easier to see.

its filled with a very light gray that is still difficult to distinuish from the white
