Battery Status

Open laltm opened this issue 1 year ago • 11 comments

It would be nice to implement the battery charge percentage into the status bar icon.

Maybe like Apple did it on iOS. That way, you could throw out the default icon and save some space in the status bar. I have no Idea how to do this but I think it would be super neat :)

I will not get to this any time soon, but I agree that would be a nice detail. If someone wants to PR this, please make sure to use the event system rather than polling (as done by the daemon) and to not register any events when this feature is currently turned off.

@laltm I use Bartender to hide the Battery Toolkit icon as once i have it setup it runs really well in the background, then use iStat to display a more useful battery icon. iStat has been involved in some controversy lately, so you may want to use one of the alternatives.

@rogueda You don’t need to use Bartender, you can simply quit the GUI. All actual logic is in the background daemon.

some controversy lately @rogueda Hi, thanks for the suggestions! I actually have iStat, but didn't like the way their icon looks. Can you tell me what the controversy was about?

I think Bartender was the one with the controversy.
