Battery Status 0.1 Released – Improved Battery Applet For The Gnome Desktop

By

“Battery Status is a project for GNOME, that shows information
about laptop battery state. It comes with a lot of additional
features, so usual icon of GNOME Power Manager can be removed from
Notification/Indicator Area. Don’t worry about the battery icon in
Ubuntu being a part of the Indicator Applet, when you first add
Battery Status to the panel, it will ask to remove the default
battery icon (but will keep the Indicator Applet).

” Gnome’s Power Manager battery icon only shows the remaining
battery power. But using the Battery Status applet, the user can
access:

“* Battery Status dialog
* Power Statistics (provided by GNOME Power Manager)
* “Show” setting
* CPU frequency scaling (provided by
gnome-applets/cpufreq-applet)
* Power Management preferences (provided by GNOME Power
Manager)”
