Oh, it would be best if you could make the 'Reminder to charge' value changeable by end user.
Adding to this suggestion, I would prefer a loud sound -- it should even max out the volume temporarily -- and with repetitions if ignored (perhaps once every 5% drop unless I acknowledge it?). Most of the time my tablet is in a coat pocket, (which I am usually not even wearing) so sound is the only way to get attention.

Also, the icon color change would would hard to do for those of us using the other themes (Thank you 412b for that by the way, it works great - especially "Use GTK theme" which I noticed keeps the charging animations)
