Battery Meter

String Overlays

Overlays that expect a value as a string (e.g. Image, Text, Label and Shortcut), can use the following codes in the string:

%C 'Charging' - if charging

%c 'charging' - if charging

%s 'c' - if charging

%P 'AC Power' if on AC, "Battery" if on battery

%l Label format: e.g. "AC Power", "6:28 hours (99%) remaining" etc.

%H Time remaining in hours with a leading zero

%h Time remaining in hours.

%M Time remaining in minutes on the hour with a leading zero

%m Time remaining in minutes on the hour

%T uses '%h:%M hours' if >= 60 mins remaining, otherwise '%m minutes'

%d percent time left (without the %)

%e ime left in tenths

%% the '%' sign.

The ‘selector’ is ignored.
