PowerStatus

PowerStatus shows information about the battery level, so it's only useful on mobile computers. If not yet running, launching the applet will ask if it should open in window mode or live in the Deskbar. In window mode you're able to resize the icon by resizing the window and use the Replicant handle to drag it to the Desktop.
Wherever installed, it's operated via a right-click context menu.
Note: PowerStatus requires a working ACPI support.
The context menu offers these options:
| Shows battery level in percent or remaining time. | ||
| Shows icon of the applet. | ||
| Switch between showing battery level in percent or remaining time ( has to be active). | ||
| Shows the extended battery info window. | ||
| Shows the About window. | ||
| Quits the PowerStatus applet. |
When is active, the battery level is shown in brackets while charging.
To warn about a low battery level (<30%) the battery icon turns orange, when it becomes critical (<15%) it turns red.
You will also be informed with notifications and can configure a warning signal in the Sounds preferences.
