Ultimate Edition Forum

Hello ,

I was wandering is there a way to add a power icon on the menu ribbon which is located on the top of the screen. I needed the power icon to show how much battery juice I have left on my laptop and show how much I have left until it runs out and also show an estimated time of battery will be completely depleted. I wanted the power icon to be next to were the Date + Time is located in the center of the screen.


I love the the Ultimate Edition 3.4 32 (full version) I am NOT using the Lite version.

thank you.

Hello

I appreciate the responses I recieved. I tried to do the first one suggestion but I couldn't find anything like the first suggestion in my
Ultimate Linux 3.4 full version. I have a pull down menu that starts with "Applications" then went to "System Tools" then searched "Administration and
"Preferences". I couldn't find references->Power Manager my Ultimate Linux 3.4 menu.

I was unable to navigate to General Options in any of sub menus of "Administration or "Preferences".
.

So I trying the second suggestion and posted my terminal output as I did it. I didn't work all the way. I don't know why but I posted my results.

I appreciate you guys support.
