I liked having a coloured battery icon on my Hermes, but I like having a precise-to-the-nearest-1% battery meter even better. There are some ROMs that come with the new battery.dll now, but I want a coloured battery icon too. Pdaviet's ROM's battery icons have a large and clear numeric indicator, which made me wonder why I could stand the tiny numbers before.

I'll be making cabs based on bennec83's packages for the new battery.dll, and here's a shot of 101 icons done with MS Paint, 0%-20% in red, 21%-40% in yellow, and 41%-100% in green. Except for "100", every digit is 5x8 pixels in size. Battery bar is full (10 pixels wide) for 95%-100%, 90% full for 85%-94%, 80% full for 75%-84% and so on. But I need to figure out whether the 0% icon is used or not used at all. And it will take time to crop it 101 times, save each crop as an icon, and import it into phcanOverbmp.dll.:p
So, if you like these icons and have a lot of time in your hands (or if you have a tool that automagically does the work mentioned above automatically), feel free to put them in your next ROM. If you think there's room for improvement, let me know. With my current progress I expect at least 1 cab to be released a few days later.:)
