Great work, looks really stunning! :-)

Oh noes! Please restore this option since it is crucial (well, for me at 
last). IMHO it would be a much more beloved feature if it was not hidden and 
could be enabled not only by modifying the config file.

Just from looking at your screen: All information is shown by default, right? 
Would it be an improvement having the additional batteries (mouse etc.) 
collapsed by default?

Just for my curisosity: I have an HP Envy 14 Spectre with backlit keys that 
may have 4 steps of brightness: off, low, med, high. Would I be able to set 
the brightness via GUI if you sort out the existing issues? Wow..

Yours,
Andreas
