Upower module

[ErikReider]

A module that displays the icon provided by UPower with the percentage next to it.
Example icon: battery-caution-charging-symbolic

The module also connects to the org.freedesktop.login1.Manager DBus interface to update the battery status after waking up from sleep. The module only updates when the UPower DBus interface updates so no polling here! :)

To-do:

• Fix nasty Error in inter-thread communication: write() failed: Bad file descriptor warning
• Fix UpDevice getting unrefed
• Tool-tip with other devices
• Man pages
• CSS status
• Format
• Format-alt

Anything else to fix?

I have trouble changing colors in upower module.

I have

"upower": {
     "icon-size": 20,
     "hide-if-empty": true,
     "tooltip": true,
     "tooltip-spacing": 20
}

and

#upower {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    color: #000000;
}

in my config and style.css. When I swap the #ffffff and #000000, nothing changes and the module stays displayed white on black.

Does the module support changing colors?
