Description: Display battery status in X11
Xbattbar displays the current (laptop) battery status in the X window
environment. Battery status is obtained through the APM interface.
.
The battery indicator of this program is very simple: a simple bar
at the top/bottom of your display. With its color, it indicates the
AC-line status (plugged in or off-line), and battery charging/remaining
level. Also, if the mouse cursor enters the indicator window, a popup
diagnosis window comes up in the center of your display showing the
current AC line status and battery level.
.
This package supports ACPI and APM checks for battery status.
