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.
