battery-eye 0.7.0-2

Battery charge logging and graphical visualization for Maemo5/N900. battery-eye is a small app, that records battery data (percentage, current, voltage, charger status) continuously in background, and creates a graph to visualize how the values change over time. It also calculates statistics on average battery usage, and battery life estimates based on that. The data collection process is designed for minimal impact on system performance and battery life.

Alan, thank you for your feedback.

The darker shades for mAh and mV were chosen on the use case I think as primary, which is that the mAh and mV are sort of secondary/explaining information to be used in addition to the primary information (the charge %).

I admit that the current colors are not optimal for other use cases, or for brightly lit environment. I am considering making some alternative color schemes (or full configurability, haven't decided yet) available in a future version.

In the meantime, if you feel adventurous and want different colors real bad, you can try editing /opt/battery-eye/beye/gui.py at around line 314. ;-)

(The color channel values in GTK are in range 0-65535, that's why the values are being multiplied by 256)

The shade of blue used for mV doesn't show up very well against the black background. The shade of green used for mAh isn't great either, especially since another shade of green is already being used.

Aside from those minor niggles, works perfectly well.
