[solved] battery icon in systray -cant find its name-

hello,

im using openbox and i have a bedattery icon (which consist of digits showing the percentage of charge and the time left until empty or completely charged). id like to install that power-managment on another pc, but i cant find out which i use. its not in the autostart list of openbox nor is it in the /usr/share/applications/ folder (at least i couldnt identify it).

thanks lizzy

Are you using tint2 as your panel?
It sounds like the battery display of tint2, which just parses the info from /sys & displays it on the panel...

hey,
exactly, im using the tint2 panel...but i still wonder where it is being started. if i would like to change the icon, would i have to change the panel-application?

greets lizzy

ah just found it in the tintwizard (tint2conf)...you helped me a lot, owe you something

Your eternal gratitude
BTW you're better off just editting the ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc file: I find tint2conf to be buggy & inconsistent...
EDIT: typo...

i thought they are the same in the way that changes in the tint2conf overwrite the tint2rc!? but anyway, i configured it via the tint2rc, so didnt have the buggy experience yet
