Yes. But anyway, I'm also the creator of the rescue pack, and I'll need it working in order to test the backup. Which means that I'll also have to update it to support the PW2

[cryzed]

Well, thank you very much then !

OK NiLuJe - how did you get your battery icon to indicate percentage? SuperKool!!!
Is this something you can share with us? I am sure I'm not the only one who spotted that and got jealous.

@nypaulie-
Try here (I think this is what you're talking about)

Thanks! Works great, but compare the result (first one) with the one that caught my eye (second one).

[twobob]

yeah. one is the other.

check out the formatting.

Make it littler. make it black rather than white text. make the offsets different from the top.

Voilà, you have the other one.

He linked that code to Aeris somewhere. I forget where.

[cryzed]

That's neat, if you find it please let me know too !

[NiLuJe]

It's in the BatteryStatus KUAL extension in the snapshots thread . (It pops up in the 'Helper' menu).

Mine is a bit closer to eureka's original snippet of code than Aeris'. Looks better on a PW than on a Touch. Should stay somewhat visible < 50% with a white outline.

[cryzed]

Yeah, that's what I meant. I do have the extension already, I was just trying to get your modifications.

[NiLuJe]

It's in the snapshot version .

[cryzed]

Well now I feel dumb. I thought you were still talking about the extension itself, and not the modifications -- oh well.

EDIT: Well I tried updating my snapshot version, it still doesn't show up like this.

That's the one from Aeris

[cryzed]

Is Aeris' version publicly available somewhere, or do I need to shoot her a private message? Can't find it via Google...

Thanks! I modified the existing extension a bit, to support both designs. Simply tap "Tweak Battery Icon (Design 1)" or "Tweak Battery Icon (Design 2)", where design 2 is Aeris'. In the linked thread there were 2 different version of the code, but I found out that, at least on the Paperwhite 2, the line "marginTop" attribute doesn't change the looks of the new battery gauge, whether it's -1.4pt or -1.6pt, so I went with the smaller one.

I'll attach my modifications (I hope that's okay, if not I'll remove the attachments), simply replace the "BatteryStatus" folder in your extension folder and restart KUAL on the device. After having applied one design, you need to restart the device to apply the other one properly.
