Please show battery percentage in Start11 taskbar

from Stardock Forums

Please, for the love of God, give us the option to show the battery percentage to the taskbar in Start11! Soooo many people (including actual companies like Lenovo!) have been asking Microsoft to do this going back years and years, but they just won't do it. And today the galaxy brain UI/UX people at Microsoft decided that the temperature should be on the taskbar, but the battery percentage still isn't worthy 🙄 I remember when Windows 8 and Windows Phone came out, Microsoft people kept talking about how important and valuable "glanceability" is. Yet here we are in 2022, on Windows 11, and the battery percentage isn't in the task bar. Please add this to Start11

I assume you know the battery percentage is shown when you hover over the battery icon in the Taskbar. If you are asking for an option to always display it on the Taskbar, I wouldn't get my hopes up for Microsoft to do this. The fact that the data is available in the OS, it's possible Stardock could capture this data and display it on their custom Taskbar. It may be resource intensive to constantly update the battery percentage data and display it on the Taskbar. This is an interesting discussion for Stardock developers.
