here as you can see the tooltio says battery is 41% but the icon in the panel does not looks like 40% battery, so everytime i have to check i have to move my pointer to it and see the actual charge in tooltip it’s annoying. any help ? Thanks In advance

Hello,
This something to happened because the software to the battery is different of the software present on the desktop, I believe.

Usually battery icons only change when the charge reaches specific thressholds.
Usually something like 100%, 60% and 30%, 5%.

So if if the battery is at 40’ish percent and it’s discharging, the icon would still be the 60% one, until the charge hits 30%, then the icon will change to 30%.

There are not 10 battery icons. Usually only 5 or so.

As an alternative you can add a panel item “Battery Monitor” in xfce.
That one can be configured to show the percentage right next to the icon in the panel.
