Enhancement idea: Battery remaining time on icon #8

Would be great to have the option to swap the icon's percentage with remaining time that you currently need to mouseover for. Due to limited space I'd suggest offering the option of display the hour digit only, or a smaller font with hour on top / minute on bottom.

Thanks for idea.

Generally, I'm not very like remaining time, as it is very fluent and depends on current system load: when browsing it can show 6 hours, but then you start a game and it will change to 1.5 hours. So you cannot rely on this number without knowing than load type will not change in the remaining time. And it will frustrate basic users.

Also, on 1080p displays two-line text inside icon will be too small for good look.
