# Battery widget
Simple and easy-to-install widget for Awesome Window Manager.
This widget consists of:
- an icon which shows the battery level:
![Battery Widget](./bat-wid-1.png)
- a pop-up window, which shows up when you hover over an icon:

Alternatively you can use a tooltip (check the code):

- a pop-up warning message which appears on bottom right corner when battery level is less that 15% (you can get the image [here](https://vk.com/images/stickers/1933/512.png)):

Note that widget uses the Arc icon theme, so it should be [installed](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-icon-theme#installation) first under **/usr/share/icons/Arc/** folder.
## Installation

- install `acpi` and check the output:
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install acpi
$ acpi
Battery 0: Discharging, 66%, 02:34:06 remaining
```
