Idea borrowed from the broken ACPIBattery screenlet.
To create a theme, create 8 images of the battery at 1/8 (12.5%) increments, named batt-0 through batt-7 (0 = 82.5%)
The text is displayed near the top. I'll add this into the theme options laterLast changelog:
0.0.5: * Fixed issues with batteries with charge measured in units other than mAh * Added preliminary time estimation * Added another option stub for update interval Notes: Battery calculation and screen updates are inter-dependant. Please report on the accuracy.
Yes I did, I'm using screenlets from Trevino's repo, and the battery screenlet opens but does not draw anything to the screen...
After digging into the source (to attempt to fix it), I decide to just write my own (simpler) one...
Huh. What version of screenlets do you have installed? Maybe Trevino's repository is out-of-date. Anyway, BatteryStatus isn't working for me with screenlets 0.0.10 on Ubuntu Feisty.
Hmmm...
(you probably did this) but did you extract it to ~/.screenlets or /usr/local/share/screenlets so that the BatteryStatus directory is in one of those?
In that case, can you e-mail me a description of what is not working, as well as the console output from running it manually?
(to run it manually, cd to the directory where it's stored, and type "python -u BatteryStatusScreenlet.py" without the quotes.)

What's broken about ACPIBattery? It seems to work fine for me. Did you try the one in the "Updated old 3rd party Screenlets" package available here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Updated+old+3rd+party+Screenlets?content=64806?
