david, the actual icon that a person with sight sees, is different from the info / options that are shown when a user of VO moves through the battery menu, or any of the status menus. Once you're in a particular status menu, you're seeing menu options and info that both VO users and the sighted, can see, which are associated with an icon, while not being the icon itself. The sighted can see the actual icon itself, while VO users cannot. Does that make sense?…

When you set that option, you're setting a visual option, not an auditory one. thusly, no bug! <smile> the auditory feedback you're getting from VO is simply a voicing of the status in the menu itself, and not actually reflecting the visual status of the icon. HTH and have a great day!… Smiles, Cara :) On Jul 7, 2008, at 5:53 AM, Travis Siegel wrote:The time/percent options are reversed. (and it's still that in leopard, despite numerous bug reports on the matter) Just set it to whichever one you want, then try it out. I use icon mode myself, but choose what works best for you.

Can anyone tell me what the percentage option is for? I've selected percentage and when looking in the battery menu there's no percentage option shown. It is showing me in hours how much battery capacity is left.
