Description My fix for the Snow Leopard 'charging battery' icon issue.

To apply, simply navigate to:

System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/

then, Show Package Contents of Battery.menu

/Contents/Resources/

Replace the files named glyphCharged.pdf and glyphCharging.pdf with unzipped files.

Restart computer and voila! No more ugly lightning bolt and plug!

Thanks for doing this. How do I get my battery to be all black when it is fully charged? Right now it is clear in the middle.

This is actually a fix for a menubar icon theme created by iAndrew [link] that was featured on MacThemes. His theme for the battery icon displayed properly in Leopard, but reverted back to the lightning bolt and plug icons (when charging) in Snow Leopard. A lot of people hated the way it looked so I simply came up with a fix for it.
