None of the numerous existing human-coded X11 tray icons showing battery charge level is good for you? Why? What are they missing?

I've assessed half a dozen before writing my own with following results:

    - 2 are python resource hog
    - 2 from AUR don't compile with modern GCC.
    - 1 uses gtk battery icon, but uses dark version on dark taskbar, unreadable.
    - 1 shows just black square.

Like I spent more time on assessment than I got a first working my tray. Amazing times.
