dtpower is useful for monitoring the battery-state of laptops.

dtpower is designed to be used as an app in CDE's frontpanel. dtpower calls 
"acpi -a" to get the state (power plugged in or not) of the power adapter.
The icon changes according to the state.
Then "acpi -b" is called to set a tooltip with the current load of the battery.

1. PREREQUISITES
-----------------------------

Motif 2.3+

On some GNU/Linux distributions appropriate 'dev' packages need to be installed
separately - e.g. xorg-dev, motif-dev, etc.

2. BUILDING AND INSTALLING
-----------------------------

To build and install using default configuration options run './configure' ,
run 'make', then 'make install' as root.

Default bindir is 

	/usr/dt/bin 

for dtpower and 

	/usr/dt/app-config/icons/C

for the xpm-files. You can also install the binary somewhere in your PATH
and the xpm-files in $HOME/.dt/icons if you do not have root-privileges.

Configure your panel to show the app: copy power.fp to the directory

	$HOME/.dt/types

It has the followring format:

----------- snip -----------------
CONTROL Power
{
  TYPE                  client
  CONTAINER_NAME        Top
  CONTAINER_TYPE        BOX
  POSITION_HINTS        14
  CLIENT_NAME           dtpower
  CLIENT_GEOMETRY       60x60
  LABEL                 Power
}
----------- snip -----------------

where the POSITION_HINTS defines the position in your panel.

If you decided to use 

	Dtwm*primaryColorSetId: 8

instead of the default bg color (ID 5) of dtwm you can use the 8th line of
you colorpalette, i.e.

	dtpower -bg `head -n 8 /home/jma/.dt/palettes/Crimson.dp | tail -1`

Since version 1.5 the line above should not be necessay any longer as i try to
catch the color.

Additionally you can use dtpower in symbolsize. I took away the windowdecorations
in order to use it as desklet, you can still move it around with SHIFT-ESC from your
windowmanager.
