## fbpanel configuration file ##
########################################
# DESCRIPTION
# Configuration file consists of mandatory 'Global' block that MUST come first,
# and optionally one or more 'Plugin' block.
# Lines having '#' as first non-blank char or blank lines are ignored
# Keywords are not case-sensitive
# Values are case-sensitive
# Value of variable is a text from first non-blank char after '='
# till the last non-blank char. '#' is NOT treated as coment in this context
# 'Global' block describes global parameters like position, size and
# some NETWM settings
# Global {
# # screen edge
# # legal values are: left, right, top, bottom
# edge = bottom
# # allignment of a panel
# # legal values are: left, right, center
# allign = left
# # length of margin (in pixels)
# # legal values are numbers
# margin = 0
# # widthtype specifies how panel width is calculated
# # legal values are: request, pixel, percent
# # request - follow widgets' size requests. can shrink or grow dynamically
# # pixel - occupy fixed number of pixels, then 'width' variable holds a number
# # percent - be 'width' precent of an edge.
# widthType = percent
# # numerical value of width (not applicable for 'request' widthtype)
# # legal values are numbers
# width = 80
# # heighttype specifies how panel height is calculated
# # legal values are: pixel
# # pixel - ocupy fixed number of pixels, then 'height' variable holds a number
# heightType = pixel
# # numerical value of height (if applicable)
# # legal values are numbers
# height = 28
# # Identify panel window type as dock
# # legal values are boolean
# setDockType = true
# # Reserve panel's space so that it will not be covered by maximazied windows
# # legal values are boolean
# # setPartialStrut = true
# # Transparency stuff:
# # tintColor is a color to composite on root background given as #RRGGBB or as name
# # alpha is transparency of the tint color.
# # transparent = true
# # tintColor = #FFFFFF
# or
# # tintColor = white
# # alpha = 127
# # Autohide
# # autoHide = false
# # heightWhenHidden = 2
# }
# 'Plugin' block specifies a plugin to load. It has same syntax for both
# builtin and external plugins.
# First parameter is 'type'. It's mandatory and must come first
# Legal values are plugin names. Names of builtin plugins are:
# separator - visual separator
# wincmd - 'show desktop' button
# taskbar - lists all opened windows (tasks)
# launchbar - bar with launch button
# image - just shows an image
# dclock - digital clock
# space - just seize space
# pager - thumbnailed view of the desktop
# tray - tray for XEMBED icons (aka docklets)
# expand - specifies if plugin can accomodate extra space or not [optional]
# padding - extra padding around plugin [optional]
# config {} - block of plugin's private configuration.
# This part is plugin dependant
#
# Plugin {
# type = wincmd
# config {
# image = ~/.fbpanel/images/Desktop2.png
# tooltip = Left click to iconify all windows. Middle click to shade them.

Edited post: Updated: fbpanel battery text display code added.
On my Desktop the above files work flawlessly and I did the same to my Laptop and enabled the Battery setting in fbpanel and I get the error " No Battery Found "
and then I found this patch but, couldn't understand what to do with it...
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=982593
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1018790
#plugin {
# type = battery
#}
Plugin {
type=genmon
config {
Command = echo $(acpi -b | cut -d, -f2)
PollingTime = 2
TextSize = small
TextColor = red
}
}
Problem solved
