| Skinning is replacing the picture (bitmap) used
with another one. Note, depending upon whether you have a QVGA or a VGA
Pocket PC, you will need to use the QVGA bitmaps or VGA
bitmaps. The Pocket PC directory to copy the files to is
mentioned next to the icons below. Most
bitmaps can have transparent areas. These are denoted by the
magenta color (RGB 255,0,255).
Whenever possible, alternate icons have been included to
help skinning design.

Battery Icons
On the Battery Bar and in Power Store, the battery icon is
made up of several icons. The first is batt_meter.png. The top

the middle of the battery icon.
If the battery is charging, the charging.png
image is displayed on the bottom left of the battery icon.
If the backup battery is low (usually a sign
that it need replacing), then the warn_icon.png image is
displayed on the left hand side of the battery icon.
