Auto mini toast just showing the battery percentage when connected for the first time #42

This is a feature request, When an Xbox controller is connected can the app make a small(5-7) second toast only showing the current battery percentage.

Thanks.

Hey, showing a toast on events other than empty level should work. But for one, percentage isn't possible (the API only gives the rough values you already get), and I don't see that much use in such a feature.

If more people show interest in this I might think about adding it, but if you stay the only one it's not worth the effort for me.

Thank you for the response, I completely agree with you, it's pointless to code for just a single person. I did not know that you can't get the exact battery percentage. If requested by many, how about showing a toast like Full/Medium/Low ?

It's not exactly what you asked for, but the testing branch now contains a popup/overlay that can get displayed on low battery and/or when you press the xbox button. Looks, position and display duration can be adjusted, an example: image

Would that be good enough or do you still want it to show up automatically?

Looks amazing, that's perfect, I think it should popup when the controller is connected, or the battery level changes. Similar to what we would get on an Xbox.
