JWM Joes Window Manager battery applet for Laptop using Sparkylinux

I installed ibam but it doesn't work.

ibam

No apm data available.

How to enable it in taskbar? Is it possible.

There is the startup section on the end of '~HOME/.jwmrc' file.
If your app should be started on start up simply add it to the list.
Anyway there is xfce4-power-manager preinstalled.

I copied these lines to conky file

Battery:${voffset 02}
${battery_bar 5,150 BAT1}
${battery_percent BAT1}%

Now I can see the battery status on desktop

[pavroo]

I changed it to be looking the same like cpu, mem and swap bars:

Code Select Expand

${goto 0}${color3}${battery_bar 25,170}
${voffset -33}${goto 20}${color0}${font dodger:size=15}BAT1${font}${goto 120}${voffset -3}${font DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12}${battery_percent} %${font}

[way12go]

Code Select Expand

Battery:
${goto 0}${color3}${battery_bar 25,170 BAT1}
${voffset -33}${goto 20}${color0}${font dodger:size=15}Battery${font}${goto 120}${voffset -3}${font DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12}${battery_percent BAT1} %${font}

Adding BAT1 is key

[pavroo]

This line should be without "BAT1" on the end, it does not work well for me.

Code Select Expand

${goto 0}${color3}${battery_bar 25,170}

I got the answer to my problem from some other website and I don't remember which website it is.

It's also posted here.

I found the solution here but, couldn't understand it.

Also I do use lxtask and conky but it would be great if memory usage is displayed in taskbar.

This line should be without "BAT1" on the end, it does not work well for me.

Code Select Expand

${goto 0}${color3}${battery_bar 25,170}

If I remove BAT1 it still works, percentage number shows but the bar indicator doesn't show up.

It's strange.
Different computer, different place, different air, who knows what else makes the differences :)

I like fbpanel, which can show cpu, memory-swap, wifi (network) and battery, all with tiny charts in the taskbar section.  Here is a picture link.  (What is the key to actually insert a picture?)

Notice that fbpanel also puts each desktop's wallpaper in the panel box for that desktop - adds a little color.

This is the final version which works for me well.The code:

Code Select Expand

${goto 0}${color3}${battery_bar 25,170}
${voffset -33}${goto 20}${color0}${font dodger:size=15}BAT${font}${goto 120}${voffset -3}${font DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12}${battery_percent} %${font}

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Can you please help me with it?

I've all tray icons I need and, I can add more using or editing jwmrc.xml file.

But, I don't know how to add

RAM indicator

and

Battery indicator for JWM Tray, next to clock.

[pavroo]

I'll do what I can, I will have a look into that.
