I was looking for a better battery icon, ran across this thread at XDA-Developers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321733
So I decided to install it....
However I got a nice surprise on reboot, besides changing the batter icon to a much better version, the roaming triangle is now white with a transparent background (you cannot see the new battery icon as I am using Activesync remote display so the PDA is charging while I am plugged in):
I have not noticed any other issues, the 1x icon seems the same and since I am at work I cannot see if the EVDO icon is the same...
