Plasma Battery! v2
Note: No Battery % in numerical form - only color indication. My reason and logic for wanting this follows:
Code:
1. I try to get away from micro-managing as much as possible.
2. I have in the past always displayed my battery percentage.
3. To be philosophical about such a trivial thing, I wanted to examine why and when I really wanted to know the exact battery percentage.
4. Now I don't personally find it necessary to know the exact battery percentage, but to only become aware when certain key battery percentages are reached and actions taking place, which are obvious but I will state anyway:
a. When the phone is charging.
b. When the phone is charged 100%.
c. When the phone is discharging.
d. When the phone is getting fairly low (the relatively standard value of 15%).
e. Micro-managing becomes more important at these lower battery percentages so I like to be aware of when the phone is at 10% and 5%, too.
f. When the battery is truely near death (0%-5%).
5. I am a very visually-oriented person, and so is my wife.
6. My decisions on how I implemented this battery icon were based on the ease to which to quickly (i.e. when driving and using for GPS and/or music) without actually "reading".
a. Purple means charging.
b. Green means charged.
c. Blue means discharging above 15%.
d. Yellow means discharging 11%-15%.
e. Orange means discharging 6%-10%.
f. Red means discharging 0%-5%.
7. Although logically, it would make sense to associate a smaller battery icon with a lower battery percentage value; the battery icon diminishing in size as it discharges, visually I want to be able to easily see the battery state so I choose to "zoom in" to the battery icon as the battery discharges.
Changes:
Code:
v2a: Removed Michel Granger's artwork used (without permission but was still waiting for an answer) for part of the 0-15% discharge images. I originally became aware of his work from the album Oxygène by Jean Michel Jarre, son of movie soundtrack composer Maurice Jarre.
-Thanks to his future wife (but now ex-wife), who is actress Charlotte Rampling for introducing this art piece to Jarre.
v2: Re-created the discharge images with more precise math used to satisfy my "OCD".
Also more appropriate/interesting 0-15% discharge images.
