NAME
xapm - display Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS information
SYNOPSIS
xapm [ ... ]
DESCRIPTION
xapm puts up an X window that displays the remaining battery life. The
left side of the window contains a printed time or percentage; the
right side of the window contains a bar indicating the percentage.
Clicking on the left side of the window will toggle the display between
time and percentage.
OPTIONS AND RESOURCES
In addition to standard Xt options, the following options are
available:
-V Print the program version number and exit.
-highcolor color
The color of the bar when the battery percentage is above
highvalue. Defaults to "green". (*highColor)
-lowcolor color
The color of the bar when the battery percentage is between
lowvalue and highvalue. Defaults to "yellow". (*lowColor)
-criticalcolor color
The color of the bar when the battery percentage is below
lowvalue. Defaults to "red". This color is also used to flash
the alphanumeric part of the display when the power status is
critical. (*criticalCOlor)
-highvalue highvalue
Set highvalue. The default is 50. (*highValue)
-lowvalue lowvalue
Set lowvalue. The default is 10. (*lowValue)
-chargingcolor color
The color of the printed display when charging. The default is
"blue". Use -foreground to change the color used when on
battery power. (*chargingColor)
-delay delay
Sets the number of seconds delay between each update. The
default is 1. (*delay)
-percent
Display percentage on startup, instead of time remaining.
(*percent, boolean)
-percentauto
Swap automatically between displaying percentage and displaying
the time remaining. When on ac power, display percentage, when
on battery power, display the time remaining.
BUGS
There is no way to inhibit the alphanumeric display or the bar display.
When the battery percentage is low, using a bright color to warn you of
impending doom may be futile because the bar is too short. Because of
the form widget’s desire to maintain proportions, dynamic resizing of
the window may not do what you want it to do.
