NANY 2021 : Battery Icons - Released
« on: November 15, 2020, 02:05 PM »
NANY 2021 Entry Information

Application Name Battery Icons
Version 1.5.2
Short Description Displays customized Battery Percentage icons in tray-bar.
Shows Tool-Tip at mouse cursor position, when battery percentage falls 25 or below, so that you switch on the power. Also shows Tool-Tip at mouse cursor position, when battery is fully charged, so that you switch off the power.
Supported OSes WinXp+
Web Page https://sites.google...ew/batteryicons/home
Download Link https://sites.google...atteryicons/download

Description
Well the default windows battery icon is white and is very difficult for me to understand how much battery percentage is left. The white battery bar is too small to perceive if it is 40% or  below. I wanted windows to show color coded battery icon but could not find any option, so I created Battery Icons.

Further I found that when I am engrossed in my development, I even miss to see the red battery icon, (my customized one). So I made it to flash.

Also I added a Tool-Tip at mouse cursor position to show when battery level is below 25% or battery is fully charged, so that I can switch on/off the power.

Features

  • Colorfull tray battery icons
  • Select battery icons for battery level up to 25,50,75 and 100 percentage
  • Flash battery icon when battery level less than or equal to 25 percentage
  • Show tool-tip at cursor position when battery level less than 25 percentage
  • Show tool-tip at cursor position when battery is fully charged

Hi there, I cannot download this zip

Google says:
Sorry, this file is infected with a virus
Only the owner is allowed to download infected files.

I know it is a false positive, but how do I get around this?
I'd really like to try this App

Confirmed the stupid Google Drive Error. Also found similar reports all over the web for many apps.
As if False Anti-Virus reports where not enough for us poor developers that now Google also started creating problems.

Will make changes and create new link, sorry for the inconvenience caused by Google  >:(

Anand

Version 1.6.1 (3 Feb 2024)

    Added New Menu Option "Show Battery Level"
        (Shows a window on screen with big battery level image and percentage.
        Beneficial when we are far from the     computer which is processing and we
        want to keep an eye on the battery level)
    Logic enhanced to use less CPU in battery level detection.

Regards,

Anand
