You're talking about the devel version, right? I'm just playing around with custom icons on the theme

But anyways, you can get rid of those by typing these into x-term (rootsh must be installed):
sudo gainroot
rm /usr/share/icons/black-plastic-icons/scalable/hildon/statusarea_battery*

And then reboot the phone

Hey D, can I ask you a quick question: If I wanted to do the reverse of what dscobsct asked, would that be possible? What I mean is, I have some cool battery icons that go well with certain themes and not with others. If I copy them individually in scalable folder of the respective theme would that work everytime I switch to that theme? If yes, how about the 48x48 ones? Does each theme have their own respective 48x48 and scalable folders? Sorry for the barage of questions and thanks in advance for the tips/advice.

You need to do more than just create folders:
- first create a folder under /usr/share/icons
- create a "index.theme" file inside that directory. Here's example of what my index.theme looks like:
Code:
[Icon Theme]
Name=black-plastic-icons
Comment=Custom icons
Directories=24x24/hildon,32x32/hildon,48x48/hildon,64x64/hildon,scalable/hildon

[24x24/hildon]
Size=24
Context=hildon
Type=Threshold

[32x32/hildon]
Size=32
Context=hildon
Type=Threshold

[48x48/hildon]
Size=48
Context=hildon
Type=Threshold

[64x64/hildon]
Size=64
Context=hildon
Type=Threshold

[scalable/hildon]
Size=64
Context=hildon
Type=Threshold
Threshold=800
You must include there all folders and icon types you are gonna include in your custom iconset.

- create directories you just filled in your index.theme -file and place your custom icons into those folders

Finally you need to edit your theme's gtkrc -file (located at /usr/share/themes/YOUR THEME DIRECTORY/gtk) to use your custom icon set you just created. Here's example of black-plastic's gtkrc-file (just the beginning), note the last line:
Code:
# Copyright Nokia Corporation 2007
# Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license

# Copyright Nokia Corporation 2007
# Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license

pixmap_path "/usr/share/themes/blackplastictheme-themedir/images"
gtk-theme-name = "Black Plastic Theme"
gtk-icon-theme-name = "black-plastic-icons"
After editing that you need to remove the gtkr-cache -file under the same directory and then reboot the phone to make changes visible.

You can name your iconset into whatever you want and use it with any other themes aswell by just editing the gtkr-file.

No problem

Iconsets are actually kind like Themes; you can create as many as you want and then just edit one file of theme and make it use icon-theme you want, and you don't need to overwrite the original images

Please share your icon-themes if you find the time to create some

You're talking about the category icons @ application manager?
I still can't decide if I'm gonna go with stock-look-a-like icons or the ones that are in extras-testing (and soon to be extras) -version.

When I have made up my mind and promoted the current extras-testing version to extras, I will promote this new version from devel to testing and it will include:
- tuned transitions (snappier ones)
- new icons / images here and there
- couple of small graphichal bug fixes
- maybe new icons for application manager (stock-look-a-like)
