I like xbattbar very much compared to others mentioned elsewhere in
the thread. However it has one server bug that it displays (on
xterm) really wild amount of remaining battery time.
In that regard, all asapm, xbatt, wmbattery, wmapmload, & wmapm
display correct amount of remaining time.
I didn't like...
- xbatt: need to move the mouse over to see the capacity,
and does not show remaining time
- wmapmload: hard to read (could be "fixed" in Xv)
- wmapm: i have broken APM (Dell I5Ke) & those suspend/sleep
buttons are too inviting
Anyway, before i bothered w/ checking various options for graphical
battery status, i was using...
