I find that most often I forget about my battery running > flat and thus nbosd wouldn't help. Any idea how to deal with it ? nbosd was designed to show the value on demand. I have a keyboard =20 shortcut which shows me the OSD whenever I need it. But the shortcut doesn't work in every case e.g. when playing =20 fullscreen games. So I taught nbosd to work together with devd and now =20 nbosd has an option to run as a daemon and only shows up when the =20 battery percentage falls below a user-defined value. It still has some rough corners and the code needs to be cleaned up =20 that's why I haven't committed the new version. I hope that my (very limited atm :-( ) time allows me get it finished, soon.
