I know this comes in some ROMs and maybe some themes, anyone seen a stand alone option for people in root to add this ability in the MENU bar, not the task bar?

sorry..... the notification bar is the drop down bar, no? the STATUS bar - what I called the Menu - is the top bar with signal strength, battery meter, time, 3G, etc. my bad
cool.. much thanks.
(BTW - I tried to edit my posts title and it shows I do, but in the actual thread, title is not fixed?)
would love to then find a "metamorph" theme and then the same stock battery icon BUT with a % on it like I have seen in Pete's BB.
I am a graphic designer, is it easy for me to get a source of that stock battery png file (I assume png) and make my own 0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,100% images and make my own metamorph theme?
okay.. I grabbed them. they did not have the % over them though??? I know for a fact they did in the BB 0.4 I had loaded. so I wonder if something else in the ROM writes, in small text, the %?
I made this as a demo of what I am doing.. but not sure what to now do with the images to make a theme and load it up?
using another battery only metamorph theme as a guide, I put my images into it and rezipped it back up. I now have what I think is a metamorph theme of my batteries?? I guess only way to know is to use metamorph and try to load it, but i am nervous. what if it fails, can I delete it with no issue? seems only way to go back is to flash back a ROM in recovery it seems?
I left the stat_sys-battery_charge_anim files as is as they seem cool to me and I do not mind that charging animation/progression. I just like to know the % during battery use more than during charging.

yeah, I kind of like the manual idea as it kind of implies I can go into something on the SD card, grab the files, back them up, drop mine in.. no? that would be easier... but I may have that process wrong.

Maybe you can take the files out of a ROM that has this feature. It was either Chevy or JRummy's latest that even has 5, 10, 15, 20 - which is nice when you are really low.
Not sure if it's just graphics or another implementation, but I am sure that the percentages simply coincide with the graphic level on the battery png.
