XFCE Power manager systray icon no longer visible

It used to be, that whenever my system was running on battery, or was charging, an icon would appear in the systray. After recent updates however that's no longer the case. Any ideas what changed and how to put it back?

The icon was removed from the app and a new "Power Manager Plugin" was created. Make sure you add it to the panel.

@toz thanks for explanation.

Ugh, that's ugly! I mean, I dunno whether it's on par with the systray icon (eg. hides when charged and on AC power). The new icons are horrible, I can't even recognise what they're showing. Rolling back, thank you XFCE for spoiling this one.

Ugh, that's ugly! I mean, I dunno whether it's on par with the systray icon (eg. hides when charged and on AC power).

Becuase that functionality was moved into an official plugin, it no longer hides when plugged in. There is an existing bug report/request to bring back the tray icon.

The new icons are horrible, I can't even recognise what they're showing.

That's interesting because the icons that ship with it are pretty recognizeable:

Perhaps its a result of the icon theme that you are using?
