Offline Mode: You see how much power left and how much is consumed at the moment.

[[Image:KThinkBat_ac.png]]

Online Mode: You see the loading-power.

==Installation==

KThinkBat uses the autotools. For a standard installation use

./configure
make
su -c 'make install'

==Gentoo==
You can use the the ebuild from this [https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/svn/portage-overlay-lefou/trunk/ portage overlay], category/package: [https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/svn/portage-overlay-lefou/trunk/app-laptop app-laptop]/[https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/svn/portage-overlay-lefou/trunk/app-laptop/kthinkbat kthinkbat].

==Patches==

Here's a small patch that changes the color of the current power consumtion text to white ( for dark background). Furthermore it changes the battery gauge's size (looks nicer if you place the kicker vertical).
