iBattery

Download v. 0.51 (19 May 2009)

iBattery is just another "taskbar meter", based on LVMTopBat, an open source project by levenum that you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277790

When it is possible I prefer to use a opensource project over a freeware or a paid software, and LVMTopBat is a great software, lightweight and well written, levenum did a great job
Of course there are things in it that I wanted to change, and so here it is iBattery.



Changes from LVMTopBat are:
1 - Skinnable: by default iBattery draws a light grey bar, but you can change the bar color with a bitmap.
By default iBattery uses a single color for all the battery states (full charge, low charge, charging, etc.) but you can use a 12x18 pxs bitmap to specify a different color for a different state (see FAQ)
2 - Height: is now 3px instead of 4px
3 - Width: is now "full screen", no right or left margins
4 - If you tap on iBattery on the today screen, nothing is launched

Installation
Execute the cab and install it to the default location (Windows directory), then soft-reset your device.

The source code is available through Svn at GoogleCode:
