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.
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:
(add-hook 'after-init-hook #'fancy-battery-mode)When the battery is charging, Fancy Battery shows the remaining time until full
charge in fancy-battery-charging face, which inherits from the built-in
success face:
If no information about the remaining time is available, it falls back to
the charge level of the battery. If you prefer to always see the charge level,
set fancy-battery-show-percentage to t:
When the AC plug is disconnected, the text changes to the
fancy-battery-discharging face, which inherits from the built-in warning
face. The time now indicates how long the battery will last.
As soon as the battery level gets critically low, the face changes to
fancy-battery-critical, which inherits form the built-in error face, to
indicate that you should really grab the AC plug now:
Note: On OS X Emacs currently fails to report critical battery status due to
an issue in battery-pmset. See Emacs bug #18157 for details.
Add your own functions to fancy-battery-status-update-functions to receive
battery status updates.
Customize fancy-battery-critical, fancy-battery-charging, and
fancy-battery-discharging to change the status colours used by the default
mode line format.
Set fancy-battery-show-percentage to a non-nil value to show the load
percentage instead of the remaining time. To use an entirely different format,
customize fancy-battery-mode-line. See Mode Line Format for documentation
of the format, and take a look at fancy-battery-default-mode-line to see how
the default value is built.
Customize mode-line-misc-info and mode-line-format to change the position at
which the battery status appears in the mode line. Typically it's at the very
end after the minor mode list, so you may want to move mode-line-misc-info
more to the front of 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.
All options are available via M-x customize-group RET fancy-battery.
