Battery Notifier Pro BT Personalization Update

With our 2.5.3 update to Battery Notifier Pro BT, we have tried to respond to many of the visual status bar requests that we have gotten from users.  And you know who you are. :-)

PERCENT SIGN
We've had requests for the percent sign many times before.  However, every time we tried to squeeze in the percent sign before in the space that Google gave us, we were never really happy with the results.  We also weren't impressed with the look of many of the percent sign icons that were out there in other apps.  When we created our own percent sign icons this time, we took our time trying out different things, and made certain this time that they met our standards.  We believe that they are the easiest to read compared to the competition, and we hope that you agree.  We also believe they are easier to read than the tiny optional percent sign that many of the Samsung phones provide, and we think we also compare favorably to the recent updates many of the HTC phones have released, that also include the percent sign as an option.  And the HTC and Samsung phones have just one color and one size only.

NEON COLORS
We've also had many requests for all red or the color yellow before, and we finally decided to give in.  So now if you want all yellow or all red, you can have it!  But we didn't stop there, and ever since we got that one request for purple, we decided, why not?  So now all our Neon add-ons have fuchsia, purple, yellow, orange and red that extend all the way from 100 to zero, so all you users with the new clear status bars can go nuts!  Be creative!  Just remember who came out with these colors first.  Who loves ya, baby?  :-)

ANIMATED CHARGING ICONS
Animated charging icons is another feature that was requested, that few apps have without the use of an extra intrusive overlay which requires system permissions in order to work.  Again, thanks to Dmytro's hard work, there are now five different animated charging options in Battery Notifier Pro BT that require no extra permissions, and which make it easy to tell now at a glance if your charger is properly connected.

We are not done, however.  In future updates we will be continuing to improve and add features to Battery Notifier Pro BT that our users have requested.  We'll get to them soon.  Just be patient...  :-)
