I was playing around with ACPI, Python, and Tkinter and made a simple little app that provides battery status. Try it out and modify it as needed. You will need to install a couple of supporting extensions through app browser, but that is simple. There is a README file in the zip that explains how to install and run the little app. Let me know if this was useful. If someone wants to make a tcz please do or give me guidance on how to.
