Description
Add battery percentage to window titlebar text.  Also adds a battery icon to the system tray to show battery life.

Features

• Currently, it updates every fifteen seconds (will be made configurable at some point).
• A plus in front of the battery glyph (+🔋) shows that you're charging (plugged in) while a minus (-🔋) shows that you're discharging (not plugged in).
• Exiting from the tray icon should clean up the title bar text.
• Not all title bars are modifiable, so some windows won't show the battery percentage information.
• Windows that constantly update their title bar text, like some text editors, will remove the battery info. However, the fifteen second timer will bring it back.

Planned Features

• Configurable refresh timer.
• Auto-start with Windows option.

I just want to thank you and "ask" a small update 
Would it be possible to do some kind of battery time calculation ?
Ex:
If the last 1% took 15 minutes to be used, you should have the max of ( X% * 15 ).
If you have 10% battery left it could show 150m or 1H20 left.
Since the app is refresh every X time it should be easy to do it.
Your tray menu could allow us to select the percentage, the time left or both 

And I really apreciate your program (specially on Windows 11 since battery bar no longer attached it to the bottom bar ).
