Hmm, I'm actually _hoping_ for a new artwork or being able to draw some
pictures myself. I have a 1024*768 Screen and the battery picture is way
to big for my panel. I'd like to see some windows like applet that goes
down from top to bottom, with the difference that it should actually
show the battery status and not only have like 3 states as in windows,
where you can only guess where you are, since with 60% or something it
still shows "full". I'd really love this to be themable!
