Wooo, that looks really nice already!
The percentage and time seem to be correct!Just some remarks:
1. After unplugging the power, the icon first shows a big number (which always starts with 119304... rest is cut off). The next update it shows the proper battery remaining time. So this only happens after the first icon update in which this time is shown. When plugging in the power, right before the second update, the number is even drawn outside its canvas (something like 1248746:28)
2. The time format is not correct when minutes is less than 10 (no leading zero).
3. The battery visual meter has 4 bars. I noticed all 4 of them are shown in the screenshots below (so it shows as 'full' even at 93%). At the moment, only 2 bars are visible at 78%... Perhaps these visual ranges could be adjusted: 0-20% (0 bars), 20-40% (1 bar), 40-60% (2 bars), 60-80% (3 bars), 80-100 (4 bars). And perhaps at 100% even a 6th visual state... or allow it to be customized in skins?
I've attached 3 screenshots of the battery monitor, illustrating the cases described above.

Hello Dracula
Are you using two Weather Monitors? Second question - does your thermometer raise and lower per the temperature?
Your TLB looks good.

Hi QSection,

No, it's only one in default 16 (black text) skin...

The thermometer you see is the Motherboard Monitor plugin, which shows the CPU's temperature. You didn't really think it was 60 degrees Celsius outside here, right?
The meter is a static image, but indeed it would be soooo cool if it would actually reflect the current value! Maybe custom skins could allow people to use different images for defined ranges!
Especially for you I uploaded this screenshot of my entire desktop...
Most icons (3rd and 4th 'section') are in fact menu's... See if you can discover the 8 visible plugins (the Volume plugin is inside a menu, the Media Control plugin is hidden, and spacers are invisible)...
