Battery Level Indicator

[Minos Kritikos]

I constantly use Cross on battery mode with my laptop to organise my music when I'm not performing. I do this in full screen mode and it would be nice to have a battery level indicator in the top right corner. I know this is not a high priority feature, but if it's a quick and easy thing to do, would be nice to see in the next update.

Merry xmas everyone

does the laptop have a battery level indication ,, can this be placed on top of software screen to show level or in task bar ,,

Hi Daniel,

Yes the laptop has its windows battery icon in the bottom right of the taskbar, but this is not visible in full screen mode. Not sure how I could place it on top of the software.

yeah thought about it when i re read the posting ,, use a 24 in monitor ,, so full screen is not a nessicity ,, home PC ,not laptop ,,

this will not be easy. every os version has it's own properties so not a simple piece of 'show the same icon'.

I suppose setting a warning in 'energy settings' will be easiest.

Even having it default visible in the taskbar isn't common no more.

I see, I guess exiting fullscreen to check battery level and then reentering really is as simple as it gets...thanks for replies guys! happy holidays

It's a standard api value available to developers in both Windows and OSX if I am correct, meaning that a developer should be able to have a battery level meter in their software should they so choose (pretty much along the same lines as a CPU load indicator).
