Sizes would be great. Personally I'd like it longer (the widget!). Font size would also rock. Maybe colors, though it's fine the way it is.

Howevwer, I've been using it for 2 days. I'll vote when I'm certain it's fine.

I would like it to be a bit thinner and a bit longer, resizeable would be best but not sure how much work this would entail

kudos to the creator though :)

I believe this is not possible as the battery icon is just 8 png pics and nothing more. I guess you can change the pics with the ones with numbers but it won't be as accurate as a separate % widget as it's not reading the % straight off the hal-device output.

Could we have instant refresh when switching desktops? Or on click?

Sometimes it takes a while, more than it takes me to open terminal and type lshal.

Hi,

thanks for the widget.

Bug: When loading the battery, the widget stays on the level when the adapter is connected....

Bye

I tried this, all you do is edit the icons (as said above) but I honestly couldn't find a font small enough.

Maemo doesn't update the charge state during charging. It's updated afterwards, and adjusted for a few minutes after even.

In general, resets, reboots and switching the device on and off will make the os battery meter forget everything it knows, and make an educated guess, but guess nonetheless on startup. Using the battery to battery low warning and recharging to battery full notice will provide slightly better estimates afterwards...
