* I like its simplicity and these are my notes -- -- LukaRenko DateTime(2006-08-11T20:12:45Z)

  • Lid close does not work due to dbus error (dbus_bindings.DBusException: No device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_LID)

  • My laptop does not have SW brighness controls - applet shades the sliders, but it would be better if they would not be shown at all
  • Lid close is not linked with battery/main powered so it should probably be in own section and not under Battery Powered section
  • When I attach second (travel) battery it does not get shown in tooltip (HP nw8240)
  • Tooltip shows % full twice - in the bar and as text
  • Icons: GNOME icons are ugly and would be nice if some icons (battery, display...) can be added to tooltip/dialog to make it more visually attractive; same for Suspend/Hibernate actions.
  • Great start, needs tweaking -NickGee

    • Lid close blanked screen but didn't send my system into suspend on a Dell 700M
    • Is it possible to have the same functionality of the ubuntu power manager and only display the battery icon when charging or when running on battery?
    • Suspend and hibernate worked great
    • Icons: need to fit in with the rest of Kubuntu -ie probably a blue powerup bar
