Hello folks,
This is my first post, so please excuse my ineptitude/ignorance. I've been searching all day for a Cab that will show my battery level as a %age in the top bar of my new XDA Stellar. I've seen loads of screen shots on here of various customized today pages, many of which seem to have this snazzy little feature. They've even inspired me to download the HTC home plug-in, task manager and HTC home customizer and I'm now loving the new Non-O2 look of my Stellar. I'm yet to find that battery status indicator thoguh. Would someone please take pity on me and post a link before my head explodes. Thanks in advance.

- VistaHide BatteryGauge (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281891) - Simple Battery meter, nice colors.
- SBSH iLauncher (http://www.sbsh.net/product.php?id=29) - Great Launcher, multiple tabs, battery meter on top.
- SPB PocketPlus (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en) - Another great Launcher, multiple tabs, battery meter on top.
- Batti (http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/) - ((Thanks to _Alex_ )FYI, Batti eats batteries.)
- Ariel Battery Meter (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364278) - Replace your Start Menu picture with a battery meter.
- QuickMenu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340358) - Really MUST have. Nice cascading Start Menu, and a nice battery meter.
Enough choice, isn't it?
All above apps are, (or can show) a battery meter on top of the screen.

FYI, Batti eats batteries. You should also check out QuickMenu too.

Thanks for that.
I never used Batti, just provided the link to this well known battery meter.
Added QuickMenu link :D

Wow, that was a quick response. Thank you so much. I'll have a play around with those suggestions.
EDIT: ArielBattery was pretty much exactly what I was after. Thanks again guys.

My friend has an older WM5 device and he has a battery meter in the lower taskbar. Is there a plug in so I can achieve this and not have the HTCHome Plug in on my Tilt just for the battery meter?

I personally like the Taskbar Battery Indicator on the Spb Pocket Plus 3.2 (look it up). The newer version doesn't seem to have it.
I've tried other sucha s the SBSH Launcher which integrates nicely with WM6 and SBSH Pocket Breeze...

Or you can use the Magic Button which provides a thin battery meter above the upper taskbar (besides other functions).

Yes it does.(I have Pocket Plus 4.0.2). jost press the stylus on any tab => hit options => Task battery indicator options => chouse the size of the indicator.

Just a personal thought. I have usd Vistahide for ome time, and it is very nice, small footprint and shows up nicely, And uses almost no resources on the phone.
