Showing battery percentage instead of icon?
I entered the code "CONFIG_ZMK_WIDGET_BATTERY_STATUS_SHOW_PERCENTAGE=y" into my lily58.conf file but the display is still showing the battery icon instead of the percentage. Any help would be much appreciated!

It sounds like you're on the right track with the configuration. However, make sure that you have also enabled the battery widget in your configuration file. You should have the following lines in your
lily58.conf:
After making these changes, ensure you rebuild your firmware and flash it to your nice!nano. If the issue persists, double-check that there are no conflicting settings in your configuration that might override the battery display settings.
If you've confirmed all of this and it still doesn't work, please let me know, and we can troubleshoot further!Adding the line CONFIG_ZMK_WIDGET_BATTERY_STATUS=y results in an error
What's the error message coming back?
@PurpleTaro I think the relevant part of the log is the following:
There are also similar statements for
widget_battery_status_work and zmk_event_sub_widget_battery_statuszmk_usb_conn_state_changed and zmk_listener_widget_battery_status and zmk_event_sub_widget_battery_statuszmk_battery_state_changedGotcha, i have no idea, but am curious so will have a poke when i get some clear air
Ah, found this old thread: https://discord.com/channels/924164891990978570/924170569543483424/1132451125438726174
So it looks like it's a config option that's for an older status display. I haven't mentally worked through the code yet, but quickly built using the older display status screen (ZMK_DISPLAY_STATUS_SCREEN_BUILT_IN) and the other font settings and getting a result.
Ah, thank you so much for digging that out for me!
