Display battery life in percentage?
I was wondering if anyone came up with a hack to display the battery life in percentage rather than bars?

Someone tried that a while ago and discovered that the operating system function which returns the battery life only does so in 25% "steps", so you can't get any better "resolution" than that displayed by the battery meter.

Yep, I did try it and like Harry said only 25% steps.

Thanks, Diablo - I couldn't remember who it was that had tried it.

Doesn't mean it's impossible. I'm no coding guru.
