 | I don't think I want a wholesale reconstruction of the status bar, which I gather is what Dmitry is working on. His proof of concept also uses way more real estate for the battery icon than I'd like. But perhaps all of this will be possible to customize in his final app.
I like the simplicity of ShowBattery. I wouldn't have invested the time to make the battery skins if I didn't.
Anyway, thanks for the adventure, even if this is the end of it.

| I was using CP's OSX DIA skin and DG's statbatt and getting a big blue batt icon, then I found the icon in CP's skin. IWonder if I modded CP's icon would statbatt use it? Hey, I'm no skinner. :-)

| TCPMP crashes, how so? With showbattery installed my TX turns off at the 'auto off' time when playing mp3s. Movies (.avi) play without problem.

| I haven't received any crashes on my T3, in TCPMP or otherwise. Not sure what is difft in your configure. I've been running Showbattery since 1.0. | |

| The crash scenario seems to be this. Turn off PDA in TCPMP, with OffFlush activating. Turn back on some time later. Crash.

| I guess I'm puzzled about OffFlush. Do you mean ShowBattery? I already know you don't recommend and don't use OffFlush (or didn't used to).

| I am also puzzled. Is it just the TCPMP resets or is it something else you have noticed? I really like having show battery and now I am worried I am missing some problem by using it

The current version of OffFlush is reliable enough for me to use. :-)
The only other app in which I had an unexplained crash with ShowBattery is PalmPDF.

| I'm totally confused on how to change the battery image.
When I had 1.00, I was able to change to the Mac one.
But now I just can't seem to change it, no matter what I do. I've loaded several images, deleted all but one (tried them all), renamed each one to batteryskin. No matter what I do, I only get the same initial default skin.
I do have Mykbd which I use just to get the ATOMIC keyboard, and I thought I followed the instructions to merge, but I'm not having any luck at all. | |

| In myKbd, highlight the file name for the skin you like. (There is no need to rename it.) Then go to the Merge menu and tap Whole skin. That's the way it works for me, and believe me, I've merged lots of battery skins!
My usual forgetfulness when merges fail has me neglecting to highlight the file name before starting the merge. Could that be the deal for you?

| When you say skin, you mean like ATOMIK keyboard right? That's what I have loaded.
Then I highlight BatterySkinMacBlue and Merge, Whole Skin, and nothing changes.
I've tried with Showbattery On and Off. No change either.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. | |

| I use mySkin, not myKbd, so I don't have the same main skin loaded. But say I have Velo's Grayhide DIA skin loaded. I then highlight the name of the battery skin file. Then on to the Merge menu. No?
If ShowBattery is off, the battery skin merges, but the status bar won't show the new graphics until ShowBattery is turned on. Turn SB back off, and the battery graphic disappears again, to be replaced by the normal attention manager exclamation mark.

| I can see how that would work with mySkin since that has the statusbar icon changes. However I use myKbd only for changing the keyboard, not any of the statusbar icons.
When I got it to work to change to the Mac icon when I first loaded 1.00, I didn't do anything with myKbd, so that's why I'm confused. I thought I just deleted the original batteryskin file and renamed the batteryskinmacblue to batteryskin. That seemed to work. However I can't make that work anymore, for whatever reason. | |

| Well, I've reproduced the crash and soft reset with the OffFlush-TCPMP-ShowBattery combination. I set OffFlush to flush on power off and at a threshold that would guarantee a flush at the next power-off. Then I started TCPMP and began to play an mp3 file. While the file was playing, I pressed the power button to turn the unit off. Some minutes later when I turned it back on, the unit crashed and reset.
I don't know how often it will happen, but I now see the issue.
I'm still hanging on to ShowBattery, hoping there isn't another conflict that I would care more about. I'll be watchful.
