This Tool displays :
- battery level (loadbar and/or label)
- battery lifetime
- temperature (loadbar and/or label) (Celcius or Farenheit)
- state of the adapter (label or graphic) (graphic need Imlib)
- pop-up window when battery level is low 
- menu by right click : close, reconfigure, ...

A right click on bbacpi opens a menu that allows to:
- close
- refresh
- switch unit for temperature label (if shown)
- show ACPI core information in xmessage

If the xdialog is set in the options (and installed on the computer)
it does alert the user every x seconds 
when there are less than y minutes left of battery power left
(where x and y are defined in the config file).

More detailed features:
- bbacpi supports now two batteries.
- There is a possibility to order gauges and labels.
  Although gauges stay together in front, and labels together at the end.
  The order can be change between items of the same family.
- The colors of the gauge can be reversed easely.
  It can now go from red to green in place of the opposit.
  This can be nice for battery level for example, 
  where low level is bad and high level is good.
- A special effect is available for battery loadbar when charging.
  It starts from zero, increase from level until it reaches 
  the actual level of the battery and reset.
- It is designed to look the same as the Blackbox toolbar  
  (Blackbox is a Windowmanager for X11).
  To copy this look a great deal of the code is taken from Blackbox.
