💖 WMAPMLOAD 💖

okay bestie, welcome to wmapmload — the lil dockapp that keeps an eye on your apm battery status so you never get caught out with 2% and no charger. she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is literally the moment. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wmapmload [options]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this manual page documents briefly the wmapmload command. Briefly!! because we have places to be. 💅

WMApmLoad is a program to monitor apm battery status. It's a dockapp, which means it's supported by X window managers like Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, and Enlightenment. no cap, she docks in all of them. 🫶

The remaining time is displayed in the top half. The battery load percentage is in the bottom half, and it shows up in two ways: as a number and as a graphic. next to the percentage number you get the on-line/on-battery and on-charge status, like a lil status bestie. It has an LCD look-alike user interface — it's giving retro calculator realness. 🔥

The back-light may be turned on/off by clicking mouse button 1 (left) over the application. 🖱️

If battery status is below a critical level, an alarm-mode will alert you by turning the back-light on and off. so dramatic. so necessary.

This can be stopped (and restarted) by clicking mouse button 3 (right) over the application. An application can be launched when alarm is on to notify user that level is too low — like your dockapp texting you "girl, charge me". 😭

By clicking with mouse button 2 (middle), the computer can be put in STANDBY (default) or SUSPEND mode (with CONTROL key). the middle mouse button is lowkey the main character here. 👑
