Yes, I agree. Note that the two battery case is extremely rare anyways, so we 
might simply fallback to it

Yup, I plan to do that. Either with a label on the progressbar or with a 
solution similar to the battery. Or just with a label sitting on top of a CPU 
icon.

Yeah, they're actually coffee beans in that mock. :P
And, yeah, as I wrote, those are simply placeholders for the icon of the 
profile. ;-)

Agreed on both, and we need clearer icons for it. For now I simply borrowed, 
like for the coffee beans, some icons from the theme

Agreed. Then, I was thinking, as I wrote to a later reply, to change it and 
make it enable/disable "Presentation mode" which would do some settings like 
turning off the screensaver, warnings, and so on... now that I think of it it 
might be needed also for stuff like e.g. seeing a full screen video. Ideas on 
that one?

> More should be capitalized

Yes.

Thanks for reviewing... =)

Bye,
