I got Battery Pack Pro, and i love how under the time it shows a battery with how much time is left, itll say 5 hours or what not, but i want an app that is just that, I didnt like the battery pack pro b/c it took over my today screen, im looking for a little subtle battery thats visible on the screen but not dominating it... i loved that little battery but i never could get that battery and everything else to go away... if you have any suggestions as to an unobtrusive battery meter, preferebly freeware, but it doesnt have to be... Id really REALLY appreaciate it...thanks.

TodaysInfo is very nice, and free.

You can get it here

Of course if you want to spent a little $$, you can't go wrong with Spb Pocket Plus 2. It's one of the best out there, and I personally use this program.

w00t!

i like Spb Pocket Plus 2 because i think its cool but i didnt keep it before because i dont like that its in the today screen and not in the top start menu bar... i LOVE that pic Mikop showed of the wisbar with the battery indicator show... it looks awesome... i just dont get how to do it... i get wisbar then something called battery indicator show? or is that a special skin you have with that look or...?

ok i did some searching, this wisbar thing is awesome!!! i got pelmar which is pretty good but wisbar advanced does look the very best... the only thing is it says it still has glitches.... so im sticking with pelmar's version of the wisbar... but sadly... its not very pretty... an ide where i can find skins for it?

I grown attached to BatMemTime but for some reason it wont display anymore,I uninstall and reinstall and it won't show up in Today screen nor in the Today screen settings,even after a hard rest,it doesn't work for me anymore.

Check these OUt. Juni is the very best when it comes to skins

I remember reading about this but I can't find it anymore.

Can anyone recommend a lightweight battery status indicator that
1) always shows at the top bar
2) shows up as a single line going all the way across (like SPB Pocket Plus)
3) and is free?
