Open Source Ruby Desktop Environment Software

batalert (aka Battery Alert) is a tool, written in Ruby, to notify the users when their battery is either under-charged or over-charged. Just consider installing it and put it on cron so that you never have to worry about running out of battery in midst of your work! This is originally intended for WM users who don't get battery notifications by default, but can be used by everyone who sees its worth! Batlalert upon being set up, shall notify you when to put your battery on charging and when to unplug it too. Whilst notifying so, it also numerically mentions your battery percentage at that particular moment.

Powerlevel9k is a highly configurable Zsh prompt theme that uses “powerline” fonts to render glyph icons, separators, and status indicators. It supports a rich set of “prompt segments” (Git status, battery, time, host, SSH status, etc.) that you can enable, disable, reorder, and style. Because of its flexibility, users can create distinctive, informative prompts tailored to their workflows (e.g. show branch, ahead/behind, stashes, etc.). However, Powerlevel9k is relatively heavy in terms of prompt rendering and status checks (e.g. querying Git status), which can make it slower on large repositories or slower machines. Over time, many users migrated or forked to lighter or faster versions (e.g. Powerlevel10k) that maintain compatibility with existing configuration. Despite performance trade-offs, it remains well known for combining aesthetics and utility in the Zsh ecosystem.
