I just realized that the issue is probably caused because I now write the date in US format, and you probably have it in German. Clearing the history should make it work again.

Sorry guys, another day, another update (I'll try to stop^^): 4.5.5.1 fixes that issue. The history will now be reset if it can't be read.

Romanian is not officially supported in Mango, so I plan to create a separate version that uses the alternative languages. But I don't know yet when I have time to work on that. I'll keep you posted if there is any progress, and it will come.

Hope you don't mind. I unzipped your XAP to see if I could make a custom live-tile theme, and happened across a couple of very (very) minor issues.

1. PNGs are carrying excess metadata, bloating their filesize.
2. Battery live-tile icons seemed...fuzzy (like they had been re-sized).

So...I dove into Photoshop for a bit and fixed it :D

"OptimizedFiles.zip" contains all the PNGs I edited. They're all much smaller than the originals (no loss of quality), and the live-tile icons are nice and pixel-sharp.

"BatteryStatus4.5.5.1_Optimized.xap" is your app with the modified PNGs already inserted. File size is down from 1.59 MB to 1.44 MB.

I also accomplished my original goal of making a custom theme. "BatteryStatus4.5.5.1_LeapoTheme.xap" is the same as above, optimized, but with a custom theme (I replaced "colorful" with my own subtle variation on "default").

When i try to update this app (using phone) it goes to a download page but it says my phone can't download this unsupported format. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks, I'll update the app and add your theme to the next version if that's okay.

If anyone wants me to add more icons send them to me and they will be in the next version. (should come soon, and it has a few new features :))
