This is a fork of a project done by Kenneth Schnall that displays battery percentage in the Windows 10 system tray, with some minor tweaks that are optimized for my laptop and preferences.
The biggest change I made was making the text a different color when the computer is charging. The original code adds a degree sign but it makes the text blurry for me.
