Help with showing Battery Life (Gnometer 1.3)

[jsmorley]

Well, I'm sorta stumped. I'm not on a laptop, so I'm limited in how much I can test. Maybe some on here with a laptop can check out your skin to see if I am missing something.

i looked through and couldnt find one that shows the battery life, meaning ones that show the time left or how long it will last except the alert V2 and that was the one i had problems with

This shows battery life on mouseover.

[seanwammo]

For me it works by commenting the line "Format=" putting a ";" on the beginning.

My system is Windows 7 Enterprise x64 with Portuguese (Brazil) as format on "Region and Language".
