Panzer Battery Gauge MKI for XWidget

The standard Windows battery meter is normally more than adequate if you just want to keep an eye on your device’s power level, but a well-designed widget offers useful readings and also improves the appearance of your desktop.

Panzer Battery Gauge MKI for XWidget provides you with an old-fashioned gauge that displays your device’s battery level on the desktop, as well as the current charge status and total remaining uptime.

Of course, this component requires XWidget to be available on your computer before it can be installed.

The battery gauge was obviously designed with tank fanatics in mind, and it does a good job of mimicking an instrument you may have come across in a WWII-era armored vehicle.

Because the widget can be resized, and its transparency can be altered, it is almost guaranteed to look great on your desktop, regardless of how many widgets you are already using.

Panzer Battery Gauge MKI uses an old-fashioned dial to indicate how much battery power your device has left, and it also lets you know how long you can keep using it for.

The charging and discharging lamps light up whenever you connect or disconnect your laptop from a power source, and the low battery lamp alerts you when the power level drops below a certain value.

The widget can be moved freely on your desktop, but it is also possible to lock its position and have it ignore all mouse input.

Moreover, double-clicking the gauge causes the widget to execute a certain command. By default, the Power Options panel is displayed, but you can enter any other command.

In conclusion, Panzer Battery Gauge MKI for XWidget is a simple yet useful widget that places a tank-themed battery meter on your desktop. It offers plenty of customization options and is very easy to manage.
