Normally, the bargraph uses a fixed 100% scale and a green bar. Below 30% charge, the bar is changed to yellow. Below 8%, the bar is changed to red and the default text changes to read 'battery low'.<p> <h2>Current platforms</h2> Linux<p> <h2>Instances</h2> single only <h2>additional resources</h2> lowbackground, lowforeground, lowlabel, midbackground, midforeground<p> Below 30%, the bar is reconfigured, by default using a yellow bar and the normal <a href=r-litforeground.html>litforeground</a>. 'midbackground' and 'midforeground' may be used to configure the colors. Similarly, below 8%, the bar normally turns red with white text. 'lowforeground' and 'lowbackground' configure these colors. Below 8%, the bar text is also changed; 'lowlabel' may set this text just as <a href=r-label.html>label</a> sets the text for 8% and above.<p> <h2>Resource defaults</h2> Resource defaults explicitly altered from the global defaults by this module: <ul> <li>label: battery <li>litbackground: #60c060 <li>lowbackground: #ff4040 <li>lowforeground: #ffffff <li>lowlabel: battery low <li>midbackground: #d0d060 <li>midforeground: same as litforeground <li>order: 201 <li>scalelenadj: 100 <li>scalerefresh:10000 <li>scalereturn:1 <li>scalewidadj: 80 </ul> <h2>Possible enhancements</h2> AC on/offline as well as charging status is also available from /proc/apm; battery should be enhanced to display these as well.<p> <hr> <a href="http://www.xiph.org/"> <img src="white-xifish.gif" align=left border=0> </a> <p> <font size=-2 color=#505050> MGM will not get your whites whiter or your colors brighter.
