Circle Battery Numbers for Liberty Theme

This is a great job. I know there were a lot of people looking for this, especially using darkslide. Very nice work. Is there any more colors in the works like white?
Is that a request?
I was about to install Metamorph and I noticed it needs a "BusyBox" program too. I found it on the market and in the info said something to the effect about how "the ROM used must be supported by BusyBox" and "that busybox needs to be installed before the ROM is?
So my questions are: do I need busybox? If so, do I need to unflash Liberty, download BusyBox and Metamorph then reflash Liberty?
Thanks for helping a novice, mingaldrichgan!

I don't remember what the Mysterious Beast battery icons look like, but if you really want to use those in another theme, you could extract those icons from the Mysterious Beast /system/framework/framework-res.apk file and package them into a Metamorph theme. It's really easy, especially if you use one of mine from this thread as a base.
In any case, I went ahead and made you a white version. You'll find it in the same post as the red version.

I honestly don't know the answer to that question. BusyBox is essentially just a set of Unix command-line tools, which it appears that Metamorph uses. I was under the impression that it comes bundled with most custom ROMs, but perhaps I'm wrong about that. In any case, I had no trouble running Metamorph on a clean install of Liberty, so I really have no clue why it's not working for you...
EDIT: I just re-read your post and realized that you hadn't actually tried it out yet. Go ahead and download and run Metamorph and see if it works.

Is there a way to use this battery icon with a white status bar? or can someone tell me how to send the command to change the stat bar to white?

I don't think the yellow or green versions would show up very well against a white background. The white version would, of course, be completely invisible! Red against white might work... is there a red-and-white theme it would go with?
Anyway, the Metamorph themes in this thread replace not just the battery icons but also the notification bar background (solid black, or black with a colored line at the bottom). If you are already sporting a white notification bar, you could delete "framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi/statusbar_background.9.png" from the ZIP file. Then, when you install the theme in Metamorph, your old notification bar will remain unchanged.
If you're looking for a black-on-white theme, I suggest that you take a look at Frost, which I think is a really great clean-looking theme.

I downloaded Metamorph and ran it and it works!! It did reset my wallpaper t the default Liberty yellow, but obviously that's a very minor inconvenience that I fixed within seconds. Thanks so much mingaldrichgan! Battery icon looks great while finally being able to see the percentage as well
I was just wondering if it's possible to get the red circle theme working with the following theme: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/liberty-rom-d2/118586-beta-theme-avalon.html . I tried installing via metamorph, but the themed battery already included remains. Thanks!dancedroid:icon_ banana:

I'm sorry, but I don't have an answer for you, and I'm not willing to install another theme just to help you figure it out. (I also didn't mean for that sentence to sound as rude or condescending as it probably does.)
It's cool. Thanks anyways!
