Just a thought regqarding the second picture - could you XOR the text to use black on green and white on black so that easier to read?

made a better graphical representation of my proposal acordingly to statwranglers idea (thanks), added them to solution #1 as well as to the first post in the thread

I agree on dropping the "Battery" text too.
Does anyone know if we can actually replace the stock battery status widget? It would be a shame (and a waste of a slot) if th original can't be replaced and we have to run two indicators.

I'd advice against using the same size as the sound bar, as it would
1. make it look crammed, sometimes it is better to leave a bit more space between the different elements to better convey the information they are carrying.
2. leave space for another element that someday might need space (always think into the future
)
3. just look a lot better in my opinion

Why not add a continuous horizontal bar behind the text in the battery display in the first post? This is commonly done elsewhere. A continuous bar would graphically represent the percentage more precisely than the current discrete (limited resolution vertical) display. Some folks like numbers, some like pictures. I suggest giving both.

Could you edit the pictures and the solution so that the bar is green on >65%, orange for >32% and red for <33% (or maybe more steps)?

Anybody knows how to get that info?
As n900 does not have a bios we do not have /proc/acpi and its counterpart in /sys/. Where is the battery info located?
