## Install
### Dependencies
- The acer-wmi-battery driver is needed for the plasmoid to work.
- One of the following tools is required for notifications to work. Note that in many distros at least one of the two is installed by default, check it out.
- [notify-send](https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man1/notify-send.1.html) - a program to send desktop notifications.
- [zenity](https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man1/zenity.1.html) - display GTK+ dialogs.
### From KDE Store
You can find it in your software center, in the subcategories `Plasma Addons > Plasma Widgets`.
Or you can download or install it directly from the [KDE Store](https://store.kde.org/p/2079000/) website.
### Manually
- Download/clone this repo.
- Run from a terminal the command `plasmapkg2 -i [widget folder name]`.
## Disclaimer
I'm not a widget or KDE developer, I did this by looking at other widgets, using AI chatbots, consulting documentation, etc. So use it at your own risk.
Any recommendations and contributions are welcome.
