DESCRIPTION
This program allows one to display a "battery level" icon in any
freedesktop.org-compliant status area.
It can be themed through either a plain-text configuration file
(/etc/fdpowermon/theme.cfg or
$HOME/.config/fdpowermon/theme.cfg), or through a short perl script
(/etc/fdpowermon/theme.pl or
$HOME/.config/fdpowermon/theme.pl).
The former is easier, as it doesn't require any scripting; and indeed
the default configuration is an
example of such a plain-text theme. However, the latter allows for more
flexibility, as one can define
callbacks that should be run when the battery level reaches a certain
threshold.
I suspect that isn't clear enough, then, and that I should reword some
bits. Can you point me towards the parts that you think should be
clarified?

This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space.
If it starts pointing toward space you are having a bad problem and you
will not go to space today.
