I have a .BatteryWidget folder in /home/user/
How to make it work?

Regards Dousan...
The xterm window is supposed to happen, at least for now. Need to work on that . So when pressed, the icon doesn't update?

This may be because the icon hasn't been created properly, or also due to permission issues.

Try a few things;
1. The output of;
cd /home/user/.BatteryWidget/
ls -a

Should be;
BatteryWidget.py
BatteryWidget_Template.png
Icon_Widget.png
Percent.sh
percent.txt

2.
cd /usr/share/applications/
nano BatteryWidget.desktop

should have
icon=/home/user/.BatteryWidget/Icon_Widget.png

If they are all in place, check permissions
cd /home/user/.BatteryWidget
ls -l
And make sure that Icon_Widget.png is owned by/ allowed to be written to and executed by the user and not root

Cheers
