Glad you like it.

That would be wonderfull.
Also if anyone is gonna make a script for this than it might also be
possible to make those file icons (with gnome's text generation inside
to icon (which i think is useless but some people seem to like it)) in
a perspective view.

Perhaps just a starting animation that only plays when you plugin your
adapter.. something like on those cellphone's.. they are animated when
you plugin the adapter but just once.. than it's just charging without
animations (the bars do increase but that's not a animation). And to
make it CPU friendly it might be better to generate a GIF animation?
but than you would have a color limit.. o well.. this is all stuff for
the future ^_^ my first idea is stuff that could (?) be done now if
someone wants to make a script for it (pyhon? perl? or even php? just
any language that has the SVG extensions)
