Super Smash Bros Ultimate (ID: 0000001c19f42690) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/25/2023 When my device is above the Critical/Low Battery Levels, you should add a Green badge!! When my device is recharging, you should change the badge color to orange!! When my device is fully recharged, you should display a white badge!! Also add a Semi-Low Battery Level. When it drops below the specified percent, it should change the badge color to cornflower blue RGB 0: 159: 255! Please add a Semi-Low battery notification with the audio alert sound as the Windows Longhorn Ding!!
