I was annoyed at the lack of a battery icon in the system tray so I wrote a small utility to bring me joy and happiness.

It features: not much (well, it does what I set out to do, as in displaying a somewhat ugly battery-like icon in the system tray on the Today screen).

Anyhow, you can get zPower and appreciate my icon creation skills at my usual website:

Feedback is, as usual, welcome. It works on my X51v and *may* work on PPC2002/2003.

Thanks again for a neat little app bbousquet.

Does the icon change colors when reaching a given state of the battery? Lets say red for <20% or something like that?

If not, you can take this as a feature request

It turns yellow at 30% left or so, and red around 10%, I believe. I don't have the code in front of me right now.

In the next version, I'll probably make it display more detailed battery information when clicked.

that's what I was about to write. If you click on it, can it give the status of that battery itself? Good job BB.
