Thanks. Great. I use the panel in vertical mode, and the battery monitor
looks fine in it. However, it looks bad in the horizontal mode. Too wide, and 
mostly too much vertical space (compared to the width of the meter). I don't 
know if there are API-hooks to check the orientation of the panel, but it
would be nice, if the meter would adapt to the orientation of the panel.
If it can't be done automatically, make it a configuration option.
