Battery Left

[preinvent]

With Battery Left (and the "Show Notifications Checked") I have to pull down to see it. No big deal, it's just when I have the phone on the multimedia dock I could see at a glance if it was recharged or not. Now I have to pull down.

Looking at adding this as well. Lots of people have asked for it.

the "new" icon (after todays update) appears to be a hour glass, prior to this it was a battery on it's side

Yep I changed the icon. The previous icon had 18:12 on it and I got a plethora of complaints from people expecting this to show the actual time left, which is impossible with the current Android SDK.

The new icon is a bit more unqiue (all battery widgets have a green battery in some orientation!) and shouldn't cause any confusion. Hopefully...

Another thing I found is that now I cannot change the colors in the widget.

No. Neither did the old icons.

Did you remove and re-add the widget to your homescreen?

dude, that's the icon. you want the widget.

Like preinvent stated a couple back, make sure you're using the widget.

Long press on the screen and select "widgets" then you have two Battery Left options to select from. They're two different sizes. pick one and you're good to go. chillax.

EDIT: Here's a screenshot of both of them on the homescreen.
