Documentation

Advanced usage

battery-d have been developed as rewrite of old perl script, which parses output of acpi command. By default battery-d -pc outputs coloured battery level:

• <= 20% - red
• <= 50% - yellow
• <= 100% - green

Output can be customized by editing code or cli arguments:

battery-d -pc --threshold=30=["%F{orange}","%%%f"]

This command adds new threshold, which prepends battery level with %F{orange} and appends %%%f. Output will look like this:

%F{orange}29%%%f

In zsh it produces orange-coloured 29%.
