Tray Icon alternative display and month chart power usage

Describe the solution you'd like

Hi is it possible for the tray icon to have a real time current total power usage and also display my total power usage estimated cost configurable to 24hr/week/month

Looking at the dashboard would also be a nice option to have a tab for a chart total used power with cost for the day/week/month.

Very nice software dev more power cheers

Hi @killerhaha100,

Thanks for your interest!

I think that we wanted to do that initially for the tray icon. You would like to have the current power instead of the WattSeal icon, right?
From what I remember, the power (at least 3 characters, even 4 for huge PCs) didn't fit in the icon and we couldn't make it look good. We could have the current power in the tray icon tooltip but it was not very convenient. We didn't investigate yet if it's possible to have a bigger widget such as the weather or news ones.
If you have any other ideas, please share them, maybe with a little drawing to make it clearer

Very good idea for the energy and cost sum over time ranges. We could add it above the total chart when day/week/month/year are selected. What do you think?
