Description
KThinkBat is a laptop battery monitor for the KDE-Kicker. It is inspired by the Windows Application "Battery Maximizer" which is included with ThinkPads.
It can use the SMAPI BIOS (through the tp_smapi driver) or ACPI to collect the data. It shows you the current power consumption of the laptop and brings support for a second battery. It is fully customizable including sizes, color, fonts and battery number

Installation
KThinkBat uses the autotools. For a standard installation use
./configure make su -c 'make install'
Alternatively, to minimize filesystem clutter you can install KThinkBat into /opt/kthinkbat and add just a few symlinks under /usr:
mkdir -p /opt/kthinkbat ./configure --prefix=/opt/kthinkbat make make install cd /usr/lib/kde3 ln -vfs ../../../opt/kthinkbat/lib/* ./ cd /usr/share/apps/kicker/applets ln -vfs ../../../../../opt/kthinkbat/share/apps/kicker/applets/kthinkbat.desktop ./
(The above paths are for Fedora 4 and 5, and may need to be adjusted for other distributions.)
If you already have the applet running, run $ killall kicker; kicker to restart it.
Gentoo
You can use the ebuild from this portage overlay, category/package: app-laptop/kthinkbat.
