Icon as battery #123

Closed kopach closed 5 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. OnlySwitch unnecessarily adds extra icon to top bar. There is no way to also hide/remove native similar icon, therefore we have 2 almost identical icons image

Describe the solution you'd like Most of the time I need battery icon only to see battery level and whether laptop is charging I never actually click on that native battery Icon. We could get use of this fact and make OnlySwitch to show battery level & charging status (same way as native icon does this). Native battery icon then could be removed from top bar

Describe alternatives you've considered hide only switch and use shortcuts only, which is not that useful, so don't know

ok, actually found "buttery" like icon, but it doesn't show charging status/battery level image

Thank you for your idea! I haven't planned to develop a battery icon instead of switch icon since I don't think the battery percent is relative to switches feature. I can recommend you to use eul as a battery icon, it also integrates many performance information.

Thank you for suggestion. I'm actually quite happy with standard battery icon and for other indicators I use MenuMetters (seems to be better than Eul). Anyway, the point here was to a bit reduce amount of icons in menu bar by replacing functionality of standard icons. It's definitely low priority feature, but something IMO would be really nice to have. thanks
