Nathan Sidwell March 13 1999 This little application and widget show the battery status of your laptop. It'll start flashing, when you're low on power. To build it, do the following, xmkmf make make install make install.man Then all you need to do is configure your window manager to start it. I have the following in my .fvwm2rc file, *FvwmButtons(1x1, Swallow(UseOld) "XBattery" \ 'Exec xbattery -bg grey -xrm "xbattery*popup*background:white" &') which adds it to the button box. As the widget and application are separate, you can put the widget directly into another application, if you want to.

If you do use this in an application or library, drop me an email, so I am aware of it.
