If you mean the lack of color shades in the low power mode screen, that's a hardware limitation, although it can sometimes help to set the "Color Profile" (Settings - Device - Display - Color Profile) to "Vivid" (this is also needed to get pure green to display correctly/at all, at least on some devices).

Sweet! Thank you.

I guess with that you mean wrapping of long lines instead of eliding them in the single line (with "...")? If so, that's something that's still on the TODO list and might be added in a future version (maybe as an option, as sometimes it's good not to shift all the content down by one line when a line overflows).

As a temporary workaround, you could manually break the lines in the script output, but of course calculating the right position for the split is non-trivial.

Hello.

I'm American so my phone time is set to 12-hour. However I want to display current time in 24-hour format too, as a reference when traveling overseas. Is there a tag to display current time in 24-hour format?

I'd suggest:

Code:

{script:date +%H}

Or:

Code:

{script:date +%R}

However, note that this won't update as often as the clock does (unless you put in something that updates quite often, such as battery charge).

Hello!
Maybe it can be solved, it displays the remaining battery time?
And charging the remaining charging time?

Thank you!

Sorry for my bad english

lshal | grep battery.remaining_time

There is: battery.remaining_time, but mine is zero.????

Code:

qdbus --system org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bme org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.GetProperty battery.remaining_time

terminal:

script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

reply=`qdbus --system org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bme org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.GetProperty battery.remaining_time | sed -n 1p`

echo "$reply"

I really do not know what number this is, but was asked ...
