Can I set the BatFi menu bar icon to the BatFi logo?
I want to keep using the macOS's own battery icon in the Menu bar, I don't want 2 instances of the battery icon.
Then I wouldn't be able to see all this gorgeous data.
My idea is- best of both worlds...
Just throwing in another vote for an alternate static BatFi menu bar icon.
I prefer the system icon because it gives quick access to the System Settings Battery panel. It's also more legible than BatFi's, with a larger and darker percentage font. I hide BatFi's icon, but it would be useful to quickly access BatFi's features (e.g. Charge to 100%) without going through the dance of launching the app, showing the icon, and then hiding it again each time.
The BatFi icon could be modified to match the native icon's legibility, but the ability to show both without BatFi duplicating/competing with the system icon would be ideal.
Thanks for the great work. Love the app.
Okay, now I get it :) I'm okay with it. Do you folks have any suggestion about the icon itself?
Micropixels' app icons are excellent so I'm reluctant to be prescriptive. 🙂
A version of the BatFi logo as @MasterOfMouse suggested could work, unless you find it doesn't adapt well when simplifying and scaling it down for the menu bar.
If the BatFi identity doesn't work, maybe a simple generic symbol like a plug, bolt, etc. that feels at home in the menu bar? I've had a look through SF Symbols for some inspiration, though you've probably already considered something like these.
powerplug.portrait.fill
bolt.fill
bolt.circle.fill
poweroutlet.type.b.fill
Rudimentary render, just made the BatFi logo b&w and dropped it in.
Making it match the rest of the icons should do the trick.
WDYT?

Love it!
An option for the Settings panel could be a dropdown instead of the radios, and placing the dynamic option checkmarks directly beneath it without a section separator, to emphasise their relationship. Example UI from another app attached. You may have considered this layout and dismissed it for a good reason. Sorry for veering off-topic. 😅
The icon on the video is not final :) I have nicer design
Love the little ears, it looks like a cute rabbit!
