fancy-battery

Display battery status in Emacs mode line (Solarized Light):

Provides fancy-battery-mode, which is like the built-in display-battery-mode, but more fancy: It shows just the remaining time, and uses colours to indicate the status of the battery. It is also more customizable.

Installation

As usual, from MELPA or MELPA Stable, with M-x package-install RET fancy-battery.

In your Cask file:

(source melpa)

(depends-on "fancy-battery")

In your init.el, .emacs, or other config file:

;; Start emacs with fancy-battery-mode enabled
(add-hook 'after-init-hook #'fancy-battery-mode)

Appearance

The original fancy-battery-mode provided customizable faces

• fancy-battery-critical (inherited from your theme's error face)
• fancy-battery-charging (inherited from success)
• fancy-battery-discharging (inherited from warning)

These are still available in the stable build (master branch)

Customization

Customize fancy-battery-critical, fancy-battery-charging, and fancy-battery-discharging to change the status colours used by the default mode line format.

Customize battery-update-interval to change the interval at which battery information is updated, and battery-status-function to add your own battery status backend.

Coming soon: will provide a 'mode-line-format'-esque interface for customizing features such as

• power source
• format for battery time left to charge/discharge (e.g. minutes, hours, hours:minutes)
• battery capacity (mAh or mWh)
• rate of discharge
• battery temperature
