ok.. after i transfered my ~/Library folder from my powerbook to my new G5, i have the battery icon in my menu bar.
but in the preferance pane in the system prefs for energy saver, there is no "show batter status in the menu bar" check box like there is on my powerbook.
also, strangly i have the bluetooth icon on my menu bar too (even tho i have no bluetooth device installed) my powermac had blue tooth.
so something somewhere in ~/Library informs what should be on the menu bar...
any clues?
wrong forum?
