[gpm] Suggestion for different use of panel icons

[Jaap Haitsma <jaap haitsma org>]

Hi,

Currently GPM changes the icons depending on the charge percentage. It's
showing the 000 icon if the charge is between 0% and 10%. See table here
below which I copied from [1].


000
0% - 10%
020
11% - 30%
040
31% - 50%
060
51% - 70%
080
71% - 90%
100
91% - 100%

Issue with this is that if you have 2 batteries or a high capacity
battery that 10% can still mean that you have over one hour to go. My
suggestion is to still have the above icons but let them have all the
same color. (Now the 000 icon is red to indicate critical) and the 020
icon is yellow to indicate low). And to add to icons low and critical
which are show if the time remaining is below a certain value (e.g. 30
minutes for low and 10 minutes for critical)

What do you think about this?

Jaap
