Hey Adam,
you might have chosen a different wording if you actually intended to
avoid any offense. ;)
Anyway, I don't like the looks of it either, but I do find the HAL
branch is quite nice, and it also makes use of themed icons. In my
opinion writing a replacement is the wrong approach here. If you
dislike it, complain, suggest improvement, ie. themed icons.
There's even a third alternative manifested as the power manager.
That said, if it works for you, fair enough, it just won't help other
users who will keep searching for battery icons all day because the
recommended one isn't good enough.
Just my 2 pfennig,
Christian
