Add icon to battery indicator to separate from date

Open susheel227 opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Battery percentage text is somehow linear with date and weather, weather is separated by weather condition icon,

But as view comfort i think there must be an icon before battery percentage.That makes battery more readable and at least separated by date without any devider. Weather is very well separated by weather icon Niagara-Launcher-Favorite-Apps aa

LIKE DAY DATE BATTER_ICON BATTERY_PERCENTAGE WEATHER_ICON WEATHER_TEMP

Icon can be ver simple with charging indicator aur little bit complex with color encoded as per battery.whatever. SEPARATION IS NEEDED

A battery icon is completely irrelevant and unnecessary. The % is the most important thing, and it is actually perfect at least for me. I think that the purpose of Niagara launcher is to keep the homescreen as clean posible and reduce distracions. Adding unnecessary icons would clutter un the home screen.

we have charging icon when charge, same way, battery perc flow with date and hard to distinguish. Anyway in that case toggle will work

As @Just-SKY says, an icon at that place isn't really necessary, since you already have the percentage. Charging is a different topic, since that information is useful in addition to the battery level. Adding a toggle for the icon would contradict Niagara's design principles.

We have changed our minds a bit and agree that a visual separator between the date and battery percentage could improve readability. We might add different icons for extremely low battery and for enabled battery-saver mode.

We likely won't add a visual indicator of the actual battery charge, since that is already represented through the percentage number (#1536).

For nice mocks, see #2727.

Thanks @TFackler Niagra already doing it when phone is getting charged. Placeholder and icon are all set. Only work is to show icon when not charging. see image image
