From my other post:
step has replied with some basic and very helpful information that II've wanted to get more information from the battery icon in the tray for a
long time, so I started adding to the fatdog-battery-applet.sh script to
make it more to my liking. I don't know that much about shell
scripting, but I know more now than before. The script attached below
seems to work fairly well. I've tried it on Dell, Gateway/Acer, HP, and
Toshiba laptops. I'd appreciate any additional brand-based evaluation.
The script wants configuration files lowbatt, criticalbatt and shutdown
in ~/.config/battery_level/, and refers to an as-yet-nonexistant
fatdog-power-settings.sh which I envision as being able to set a variety
of battery and power usage parameters. Since it doesn't yet exist, sit
ignores it.
The code could be more elegant, and I plan to improve it, or incorporate
any suggestions I receive, over time. For example, I'll eventually want
to simplify the tooltip section, perhaps use a single configuration
file, and improve the battery health presentation.
If it is successful and practical, it could be packaged with preset
parameters in the appropriate locations, but I haven't figured that bit
out yet.
Any feedback is appreciated.
will incorporate soon and post back. In the mean time, as I wrote
before, any feedback is appreciated.
Note: depends on dash and sit.
