About 6 weeks ago I came across a post that allowed me to change my status bar icons by installing a zip file in clockwork recovery.
The main change was the battery indicator which was a circle made up of lots of small thin lines with the percentage in the middle. The circle changed from green to yellow to red and the percentage dropped. There were also cool new icons for bluetooth, gps and wifi.
I've just changed roms from modaco r5(I think) 2.2rom to modaco r8 2.2 rom but I didn't keep the zip file for changing my status bar icons. I've spent hours searching and reading through the forums looking for the thread but can't find it. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
look for Dr.Droid theme. its on page 2.
Thank you for your help
Happy to help, hope it solved ur problem.

So many threads coming up with a search. Can someone easily tell me how to remove the battery icon from the top bar in my Orange SPV 3100
Many thanks.
HTCustom does it easy. There are links all over for it. Although if you remove it the blank spot also covers up the "sound" icon and part of the reception icon
Well wait. I just noticed you said battery. Default there is the clock. So you've changed it before? HTCustom will still let u change this (UI tab i believe) but it sounds like you've changed it before.
I haven't done much - I have just allowed user information on the screen, which takes care of the clock, as this now shows in the "today" area. The battery icon has replaced where the time was on the top bar. I will try HTcustom and see what happens!! thanks for the help.
In the official WM5 ROM from I-Mate the battery icon is shown on the title bar and clock is hidden beneath it. Is there a way to bring it down to systray and make the clock visible? Please help.
download Batti v2.1 from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/batti.shtml and install it on your universal. In the settings for the app, uncheck "Show Battery Icon in Top Bar". That will display the clock in the top bar!
download Battery Watch v1.03 from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/batterywatch.shtml and install it on your universal to get the battery icon on your systray!
They're both freeware, so, enjoy!!
I found the answer to the part of my question at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry about adding battery icon to systray and I would like similar procedure for its removal from title bar. Thanks for your help I will be certainly using your addon untill I get my desired answer. Thanks a lot once again.
I would recommend having Batti as a must-have application if you like battery stats! The rest is up to you of course, i always prefer moderate-functionality apps to messing with the registry myself! They're small, easier to handle, removable and just provide more functionality that reg-editting!!
I used Batti but it didn't removed battery icon. What happens is that when app installs it is already configured not to show battery icon but the icon shows so I enabled it just to give a try and as a result two icons were shown then I unchecked it and only the new icon went away. The original icon remained there. Registery hack is a must!!!
weird, now i'm wondering how i got rid of the battery icon I'll let you know if i figure that out
That's really very nice !!!!! Figure it out soon please !
Still awaiting response. Please somebody help me soon.
Hi,
I know there are multiple skins around that changes the battery icon so it displays the percentage of charge left. But I'm searching for a skin that also changes the plug-icon that's being displayed while the device is charging to an icon that that displays a percentage that counts up while it's charging.
The more simple the better
I know there's something called Arielbattery that does the trick, but I don't really like the idea that the original icon is still there, and that Arielbattery puts a new icon right on top of it.
I've searched the whole forum, but I just can't find it
Anyone knows if that exists?
Thanks in advance
I cannot give you a real solution. But s2u2 shows battery charge also while its charging. So it should be possible.
Edit: Just saw that this thread is very old. Sry
Hi everyone.
I've been trying to find a bottom bar mod on here that will work but I am having no success. Each one I have tried won't work. I'm wanting something with the larger icons and a color start button on the bottom left. Any help would be much appreciated. I have updated my ROM to the updated one from T-Mobile.

What your wanting is not a bar mod but windows 6.5.x. The new start bar is part of the next update to windows mobile. If you want it you will need to put the harspl on your phone and flash a custom rom.
Over the past few days I have been searching for a cab which will allow the top bar icons to be replaced with nicer well polished options.
I have also been looking for a cab that indicates the battery life as a long horizontal multicolor line at the absolute top of the top bar.
Please see the attached photo for a better explanation.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Rudy.
For the icons, there's actually many different ones to choose from, you'll want to search for "taskbar icon sets". Several of the most common ones include:
-brian's gfreek edition
-dafunk's B&W and NGTV taskbars
-dinik's anastasia
Those and many others will work on the HD2 even though they might have been designed for and work with other phones. The thread for any icon set you find should clearly label what WM builds exactly they work with.
I know the "long line" battery indicator is floating around the forums here, but I don't know the name of it off the top of my head...I'm sure someone here can point you to it.

this is what you are looking for...
Thank you for the direction on where to make the task bar even better. I found several options here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639002 and selected this option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602295
The Vista Hide battery gauge is an exe file, I always thought that .cab was the only install vehicle.
Learning every day,

I have tried many different task bars and none of them worked...except diniks recently worked for me. I use this http://battlinesvc.codeplex.com/releases/view/41597 plus diniks and it works great. and you can choose any colors you want...to make them fit your theme...different color for charging off the charger and low batt.

thats what i thought as well.. i didnt really pay attention when I first installed this until i actually clicked on it and realized it was an exe file. works though =) ... i dont use it unless i flash a rom that initially doesn't show the battery, instead, showing the clock.
