Indeed Luke's FireFox tweaks were worth doing.
Now I am working on getting the battery information in the bottom right i3 status bar. I have managed to get it to no longer show "No Battery", as you can see in the screen caps below, it will show white when it is plugged in and red when it running off battery. What I am having difficulty getting is battery percentage or run time. It will either show 0 or if change to the format line that is commented out in the /etc/i3status.conf file it will show the current system time in the battery area (not time left in the battery or time till full charge).
I have tried changing it from "battery 0" to "battery 1" as well as verified the path is correct. I looked at the contents of uevent and it looks like similar info to another Linux laptop that I have access to.
Is there some sort of a power management program that is a dependency for this work?
Any other ideas for me to try to get the battery percentage and remaining time to work?
Thanks in advance.
