Battery icon

battery-icon.sh

This script displays an appropriate battery icon, according to the current charge level and charging state. It has mainly aesthetic values: it should rather be used next to the built-in Tint2 battery indicator, not instead of it. However, you may use -l argument to display level as text next to the icon.

Note that the script does not check if AC connected, but if the battery is currently in "Charging" state. Opposites are "Not charging" (AC still plugged in) and "Discharging" (AC unplugged). I believe this way the icon is more useful at observing the charge/discharge cycle.

Dependencies:

acpi

Command:

~/tint2-executors/battery-icon.sh [-l]

-l argument turns on textual level display
