powerapplet_tray 2.2
powerapplet_tray is a battery monitor tray applet that I wrote. Quirky currently has version 2.1.It was reported on the Lupu 5.0 forum bugs thread that the battery tray applet blinks when the battery is low, even when it is charging -- which is an annoyance factor.
Lupu uses Jemimah's Vattery applet, however it occurred to me that my powerapplet_tray has the same annoyance. So, I fixed it, the icon will only flash if charge is less than 10 percent and battery is not charging.
I have uploaded it to:

The powerapplet shows up on my desktop PC, which seems a bit silly. Is this intentional? It isn't supposed to try to detect whether or not it is needed?

re powerapplet not needed
I'll check that. It isn't supposed to.

Powerapplet_tray and APM
I just checked the code. For an ACPI system, it does check for existence of a battery, if none then exits.
However, the APM code is not properly developed. It doesn't exit if no battery. I need to develop this further on an APM system.
