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
  • a pop-up window, which shows up when you hover over an icon: Battery Widget
  • a pop-up warning message which appears on bottom right corner when battery level is less that 15%: Battery Widget

Note that widget uses the Arc icon theme, so it should be installed first under /usr/share/icons/Arc/ folder.
