The only way that I am aware of is through rooting your phone, and even then, you'd have to program replacement icons.

Read the thread on rooting in this forum before you decide to do it.

 

The only customization I have come across for the notification bar (since there is no root for the Acclaim yet) is an app called Launcher Pro that lets you hide it.

Launcher Pro also lets you change the amount of home screens on your phone and add icons to the bottom dock on your phone.

Hope that helps, even though it isn't exactly what you were looking for.

 

I'd almost bet that this is a function that could be added to Launcher Pro. I would recommend that you contact the developer and ask for it.

 

What about just seeing the percentage of battery left? I would dig this.

 

Battery Status Pro, available in the Market, does that and more. It gives you approx minutes of talk time, Internet time, and standby time. It will also tell you your battery's temperature. Sounds cool!

 

I've had Battery Indicator for a while now. It works good if all you want is to know how much battery is left by looking at the notification bar.

 

Battery Status Pro is great! I searched for and found another one, but I didn't like how it displayed an ad in the settings. I don't mind the free-and-ad-supported model so much, but if I can get free-without-ads I'll take it. Mostly because I'm afraid of accidentally hitting the ad and incurring unwanted charges.

Is there a better way of sharing apps? It's nice to say the name of it, then I go search for it, then I show it to my wife, and she searches for it and matches the icon... aren't these phones supposed to be able to scan those newish 2D barcodes to do stuff like this (open URLs)?

 

Can I change it so when my phone is locked you cant see the incoming text message in the notification bar?
