How to add an icon for the battery laptop into TINT2?
 

Hi,

I am pleased to use tint2 with openbox. Otherwise, when I do unplug / plug my power supply, I feel missing the information as a little icon into the trayer of tint2.

Would you know how could I get an icon into the tint2 that tells how much left battery and/or that the power is there?

thanks

Use a power-manager. xfce4-powermanager is working fine here and did so also back in the days I used Debian/Openbox/tint2.

well, it is requiring the xfce4 :( I use openbox, very lightweight wm

That you have XFCE installed doesn't mean that you have to use it, you can still use Openbox.
But anyways, I just found the solution in the tint2 documentation (where you should have looked in the first place): http://code.google.com/p/tint2/wiki/Configure#Battery

it is a pretty heavy solution, isnt it?


kde has a cool creator of icons. I dont remember its name.
Actually it can be done very easily since to create an icon/daemon for the sys tray is basically very simple, and does not need: xfce4 nor kde to be install for such a simple purpose
