swipe away and go back to the app, it doesn't lock the window size down until this happens.

It's definitely brighter, and that seems to help a bit.

If the top process red text bothers anyone it's the 0xd3d3d3 in the misc.lua; just change that to another color.

conky 2.0.2 can now report the battery temperature again, and I've added the charge / discharge rate as well. Thank e-yes (nitdroid guy) as he shared some code that made this possible

the new variable is ${battery_rate}
It shows the mA entering or exiting the battery I guess, so it's negative when charging.

I've added both numbers to the top right of the screen, and the rate is added to a graph beside the disk io. Here's a screenshot:

Would you be willing to share this code snipped?
I would like to add it to BatteryGraph, but haven't yet found a way.

Sure but 2 problems, this code is written in C and is relying on undocumented features so we can't guarantee stability in the future.

That's the file you need, you can read this stuff for the background info or the original files.

I havent studied the code yet, but since C can access it, we could write a simple c program as a wrapper.
Or, if it only access system files/devices (what I home/expect), then we are also able to gain the data directly from the shell.
My BatteryGraph Daemon is currently just a bash script which fetch the data every 5 minutes.

yeah if you compile the original e-yes version it will make a command line interface client for the nokia bme server, or if you use mine it's easy to add to an existing program as a function call.

After studying the output of https://gitorious.org/harmattan-good...aster/bmecli.c in http://pastebin.com/RkRmT5FD I realize that there is already a tool (bmestat) on board, which reports the charging/discharging current.
Because of that, I am wondering why there is an extra tool needed?
Maybe I misunderstand something, but for just getting the charging/discharging rate, I do not need any extra tools, right?
(All the other information for BatteryGraph I gain from hal-device bme)

Hmmm, I didn't know that. Talking to the server directly via a socket is way more efficient than launching a process and parsing the output though. Very important when I'm doing this 10-30 times per minute. I'll have to look at the bmestat output later, I forgot my phone at home today so I can't now

Maybe I oversee something, but at least on my devices bmestat is available.
Since I calling it once in 3 minutes, i do not really care about performance.
But of course in your usage I also would look for efficiency.

I cannot install libxft2, either thru apt-get or downloaded DEB. ??? I am in control of Aegis (Inception) and OC'ed.

Keen to easily view my frequency.

Thanks.
