Looking for curved battery skin

[AtleastItrid]

I tried to make a battery meter that fits my background. That would be a quarter circle, but I can't manage to do this. So did anyone else do it already?

Probably it's not impossible at all, but I'm not sure how exactly would you like to do it. What the quarter circle should be and how the skin should work? You'd like to fill the quarter circle depending on the lifetime of the battery, or...?
So, please come back with some details.

While waiting for more details, here's and example of 4 curved battery power meters, simply choose which quadrant you want, hide the other 3 meters, and modify the settings for line widths and colors. Didn't test on a laptop, but instructions for the Power Plugin are available in the manual.

; Type of information to measure. Valid 'PowerState' values are:
; ACLine: 0 for battery or 1 when plugged in.
; Status: 0 for no battery, 1 for charging, 2 for critical, 3 for low, or 4 for above low.
; Status2: Equal to BatteryFlag in SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS.
; Lifetime: Battery lifetime.
; Percent: Battery lifetime as a percentage.
; Hz: Current CPU frequency in Hz.
; MHz: Current CPU frequency in MHz.
; 
; Format=
; 'Format' of the time with PowerState=Lifetime. The syntax is the same as Time measures.

; Note: Battery information may not be available with some laptops.

Thanks, I didn't know how to use roundline. Now I got what I wanted:
