features - prerequisite - install - configuration - usage - license

Tiny configuration in toml.

Desktop notification:

• level full
• level low
• level critical
• charging
• discharging

A desktop notification server, like Dunst

• latest release
• AUR package

The binary looks for the config file bato.toml located in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bato/ (default to $HOME/.config/bato/).
If the config file is not found, bato prints an error and exits.

All config options are detailed here.

Example:

tick_rate = 2
critical_level = 5
low_level = 20
full_design = true

[charging]
summary = "Battery"
body = "Charging"
icon = "battery-good-charging"

[discharging]
summary = "Battery"
body = "Discharging"
icon = "battery-good"

[full]
summary = "Battery"
body = "Full"
icon = "battery-full"

[low]
summary = "Battery"
body = "Low"
icon = "battery-low"

[critical]
summary = "Battery"
body = "Critical!"
icon = "battery-caution"
urgency = "critical"

Run bato via your window manager or desktop environment autostart system
