Hello,

This is a status bar icon replacement I made, for the battery.
Additional thanks goes to leetut for helping me find the correct icon source folder.

How to install desktop battery icon:

1) Backup /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon folder to your computer so you can revert back to default ones.
2) Download battery.zip and unzip the folder to your computer
3) Place the folder contents(.png's) on /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/ and overwrite the current ones.
4) Reboot your phone to see the results

OR

1) Unzip battery.zip and copy the folder to your N900/Documents
2) Open xterm and type(you need rootsh):
If you want to revert back to normal battery icons, follow the same process after downloading battery_default.zip

EDIT............ 3rd times the charm

Please, do not suggest users overwriting any files on their phones. Themes and such are a completely different thing since they don't overwrite anything so you can alway change it back. Just saying "make a backup" isn't enough.

As far as I know the only way to change an icon is by overwriting it. If you want to keep the default one simply do not ovewrite it with the custom one. I will also provide a zip with the stock pngs.

Also the default theme/icons can be re-installed from the repo if you mess up.
Right?

can this be done via xterminal?if yes then please give the code.
