Looking to add color coding and an alert to battery meter [SOLVED]

[Logansfury]

Or try this conky and see what you will see and what not..
https://www.cobrasoft.nl/download/conky ... 1.1.tar.gz

Im on it.

It occurred to me, that as the update interval on the conky is 1 second, it's just refreshing the information before it has a chance to calculate the time remaining and time to full?

[Logansfury]

I have Full in 6,7 Minutes

It's in discharging state however

Whoops, it just switched to Normal Discharging

but its still displaying Full not Time Remaining

[Logansfury]

For 40 mins now it's been tracking down the power level, but it is still stuck displaying Full in 6,7 minutes

Can you post the outcome of upower -d?

That is a hell of a lot of data!

For the moment I am using a combination of your bash and my previous scripting to get a full display.
