Hello, i'm trying to set up a nice second screen with rainmeter. And i have seen alot of battery indicator that says the battery on my computer - i dont want that. But i would really love a way see how much battery left of my computer mice.

I already have R.A.T. 9 Battery Charge Indicator as a own .exe but it would be nice if i can have it inside my rainmeter skin.

I found this XML configuration in the files of the Battery Charge indicator files but after that i dont understand so much..

XML configuration
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
<section name="Rat9BatteryCharge.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<userSettings>
<Rat9BatteryCharge.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="PosX" serializeAs="String">
<value>-1</value>
</setting>
<setting name="PosY" serializeAs="String">
<value>-1</value>
</setting>
<setting name="Minimised" serializeAs="String">
<value>False</value>
</setting>
<setting name="Opacity" serializeAs="String">
<value>1</value>
</setting>
</Rat9BatteryCharge.Properties.Settings>
</userSettings>
</configuration>
Does anyone have any tips of how i can do what i'm looking for?

this seems to be the settings file of that tool. it's a nice touch they don't litter the registry with that.
there is no way to tell your battery status from that file though.

Has anyone got anywhere with this?

I have just got into rainmeter and if I find anything I'll post it.
