Is it possible to show the battery level of an RDP client inside the host?

I have a Windows 10 Pro VM that I often connect to from a Windows 10 laptop. I connect using vanilla Microsoft Remote Desktop Client. Because I full-screen the remote session so often, I sometimes don't notice my battery level draining.

Is it possible to show the battery level of my laptop inside the virtual machine I connect to?

I didn't find anything that would do this, either, so I started a new project on GitHub to create a Microsoft RDP client add-in for battery reporting.

Check the releases page for Windows binaries, if you prefer not to compile from the source, and follow the instructions for installation.

Disclaimer: I haven't used Windows in a long time, so I haven't tested this. That said, it should work.

• Install 8gadgetpack to enable support to "Windows gadgets".

  ^{(Needed for Windows versions higher than 7)}

• Install the "Battery Meter" gadget.

• Activate the gadget, right-click and set it to "always on top".
