Add Battery Percentage Report on Quick Settings Bluetooth List of Connected Devices

Bluez can monitor can monitor battery percentage with devices such as headphones, speakers etc. I think It would be a great addition to at least show “Active, [percentage] battery” as a subtitle for the connected device’s menu item. (example photo below)

If the design team approves of the feature, this should be fairly trivial to implement.

If youre not there, the handle is @design:gnome.org

I find device battery status very helpful as that is one of the biggest hurdles of wireless devices. Even if you think it’s just layout, it needs design work though. Last person to touch battery status was Sam in 2022. The wireframes – battery-status/battery-status.png · master · Teams / Design / os-mockups · GitLab no longer reflect the current quick settings.

Just finished a working prototype. What I conclude currently is that the top and bottom padding must be reduced for items that has battery report. But I will just leave this screenshot as a reference for the design.
