EAX have you looked at the svn version? your theme may need a few changes when we upload the new release.

Nice theme

sorry if i have been a little slow helping people. the new version uses hal (thanks to Tomas) instead of the /sys/ this will remove alot of the problems people are having at the moment with battey names and % charge problems.

The program will also now show remaining time and ac notification.

@Eax, please resize the images in #p538026.

I've resized the images and added a black background so everyone can actually see them xD In the downloadble version they have a transparent background

No I haven't Gotta admit I don't know how (If you could tell me how I'd be delighted

What's gotta be fixed?

Thanks

Nice It doesn't bother me that much but I got kindda afraid when a full battery showed 86 percent

Also I made black version of my theme so here they are both of them:

When low:

Around 50% battery:

When full:

When powering:

White Theme Black Theme

maybe you could make a black theme as well?
we've added support for charing icons a bit like gnome power manager. a percentage icon with a charing symbol basicly.

you can see the structure in the following link.
http://code.google.com/p/batterymon/sou … cons/gnome
Once get the new release finished i will add a wiki on makeing new themes so people can make there own if they like

NeoXP: There seems to be some mistakes made in the programming. This should fix it for now (plus means add, minus delete):

At line 224:

-            BATnumber = bat                        
+            return bat

At line 248-250:

-        tempBATnumber = options.checkbatterys()
-        checkBat = options.check_battery_exists()
-        BATnumber = tempBATnumber.strip('\n')
+        BATnumber = options.check_battery_exists()

Hopefully you should now be able to successfully use the -b switch.

@ Eax

May be a kind of lightning drawing or something like that would look better than the big "C" when it's charging.

You could draw something like that :

Thats my sugestion of the day

Eax · 2009-04-22 14:42:35

@Froli: Thanks
Currently I'm considering how to implent the C (Or lightning or whatever) while it's charging and still looking simplistic and keeping the KISS model.

It is already simplistic, and it would be as simplistic with a lightning or whatever.

Eax · 2009-04-22 14:55:00

@Froli:
You're right about that : )
But it's gonna have to show how many % (or bars) it's charged and would it look better if the lightning were black on the white theme and vice versa or?

I'm gonna create some examples when I get home.

froli · 2009-04-22 15:17:21

Yeah, bars would shows how full is the battery and the lightning would be over the bars, in the opposite color.

By exemple (with the white theme), if the battery is low AND charging, the theme would shows the battery with only one bar PLUS a black lightning over it to show that it's charging.

Thanks Lars Stokholm, it works for me now.

Eax · 2009-04-24 08:30:17

I'm sorry for my lack of updating; Having a stressed time in school at the moment Hope to get work done in the weekend

froli · 2009-04-24 16:01:24

Take you time dude... But not too much

I can't wait to see what it will look like!

genisis300 · 2009-04-24 22:15:41

me two they look really good

i'll try and get the new release out this weekend. it's taken a bit off time but i think it will be worth the wait

run4flat · 2009-04-27 00:49:06

I, too, was having the problem that NeoXP was having. I modified the python code and specified the battery item from the only battery listed in /sys/class/power_supply/. I did both at once so I can't say if only one or the other fixed it, but the combined effect is that it now works. Thanks!

Eax · 2009-04-30 06:32:54

Hi there, I'm having trouble finding a proper "lightning" logo.
Can anyone link me to one? Preferably in just b/w

genisis300 · 2009-04-30 11:04:15

is this any good

One like those would look perfect:

Eax · 2009-04-30 13:57:33

Great thanks both of you
I HOPE! To work on it this weekend but my school is horrible at the moment

combuster · 2009-04-30 14:15:38

Just installed it, looks pretty good. Thnx...

genisis300 · 2009-05-01 10:21:37

At long last the new version has been released. i would like to thank Thomas for all his help with this as he did alot of the hal backend work and moved this project onto the next level.

new features include.
Optinal notification support
new theme sets for charging icons.
run a command on battery critical etc
remaining battery time on tooltip

probably lots more as well.

If you have any problems please let me know this has been tested for a while but you never know with these things.

Regards
Matthew

Lars Stokholm · 2009-05-01 12:07:41

Thanks! It looks really good. Everything seems to be working at my end.

It should depend on dbus-python though.

genisis300 · 2009-05-01 13:33:02

thanks, i knew i would miss something

is there an easy way to work out what a PKGBUILD depends on?
