Description: This is a simple battery monitor that I created for SuperKaramba. I wasn't really happy with the ones that were already available both because of looks and because I could never seem to get any of them to work.
Enjoy!! :-)

Hi,
I modified the Python script to read values from /proc/acpi/battery/* instead of from the acpi command-line utility, and to support multiple batteries, as well as show the remaining time for charge/discharge.
The modified script can be found here: https://ssl.toke.dk/files/batterymonitor.py
I have no idea if this will work for others, but it Works For Me (TM).
Cheers,

I didn't like the color either, but it was easy enough to change in the Gimp. If the creator consents, I could do a bunch of different colors and upload them.
Thank you!

I've been trying to get KDE4.2.4's battery plasmoid working. This is just what I needed!

Too bad I use desktop computer. If I would have a notebook, I would like to see different colors.
