Version 2.1 BatterySteteNotifier was replaced by BatteryAppletAgent Several bugs were fixed. Setup instructions... Make sure you have got installed acpi package!!! Battery applet still depends on it! 1) Preparation Decompress the archive. Go into the SimpleBatteryApplet directory Go into the BatteryAppletSource directory 2) Configuration In folder you can find "images" directory, where battery's state images are. Move them somwhere you'd like or create your own, with names like "87.png" and "87_ch.png" for charging battery. The numbers in the name can be any from 0 to 100. Also in the same folder you can find "Settings.h" file. Where you should declare path to images and command to execute when the charge is extremly low. 3) Compilation of main programm Type "qmake" press return key Type "make" press return key 4) Congratulation! You can run applet via the binary BatteryApplet in the same folder (SimpleBatteryApplet/BatteryAppletSource) As soon as battery applet checks battery state every 30 sec, we will maybe need something to notify it that the ac adapter is plugged in or out... So if you'd like to get information about changing immediately, you can compile BatteryAppletAgent. (It's not necessary for BatteryApplet) 1) Preparation Go into thw SimpleBatteryApplet/BatteryAppletAgent directory 2) Compilation Run "qmake" command as for BatteryApplet Run "make" 3) Setup Create two files in folder "/etc/acpi/events", for example with names "notifyAC" and "notifyBAT". The contents of the files should be: notifyAC: #----------------------------------------------------- # /etc/acpi/events/ac # Called when the user connects ac power to us # event=ac_adapter.* action=/path/to/BatteryAppletAgent ac #---------------------------------------------------------- notifyBAT: #---------------------------------------------------------- # /etc/acpi/events/battery # Called when AC power goes away and computer switchs to battery event=battery.* action=/path/to/BatteryAppletAgent battery #----------------------------------------------------------- 4) Congratulation! It should work now! So now the icon will be changed as soon as you change power source But if you don't want to create some files in /etc/acpi ... It will still work, but it's icon will be changes after 30 seconds after you've changed power source. Anyway, after you've done what you want and compiled BatteryApplet from BatteryAppletSource folder, you can start it and enjoy.
