Re: [Ayatana] "Power information" notifications



Hello,

I'm currently making the script and vid, as you'll see, the icon shows the percentage. (I've got an icon every 17% approximately, i can do more but then freedesktop people will hate us for so many more icons).

Just a little comment: 15.67% doesn't say a lot more than just 15%,
which is arguably easier to read. I would round this value to the next
multiple of 5 or something. Extra points if the icon also reflects the
value, at least to some extent.
