Battery Monitor - xfce4-battery-plugin - How to change label text ?

Is there a way to change the label text 'Battery' ?

I've found ~/.conf/xfce4/battery-18.rc  but there seems to be no option to localize the label text.

Unfortunately, the option doesn't exist to change the label. Here are two potential alternatives:

  1. Using gtk css:
    First create an image file called battery.png with the label text you want and dump it into your home directory. Then add the following to ~/.config/gtk-3.0.gtk.css:

    #battery-14>box>label {color: transparent; background-image: url("tony.png"); background-repeat: no-repeat;}

    ...and adjust the "#14" to match the widget ID of your battery plugin.

  2. Using Genmon:
    Add the xfce4-genmon plugin to the panel right where you want the text to display. Hide the label display in the batter plugin. Configure the xfce4-genmon-plugin to display the label you want:

    echo "MyLabel"

Hmm, I guess I go with option three and change it in the source code and recompile it ...  ;-)

battmon->label = (GtkLabel *)gtk_label_new(_("Battery"));
