I kinda like the white for a change.Its been since I was on Eclair OS that I had an white battery icon.
I would root my previous phones days after I got them once I learned how.
It would be cool if Google would just put into its OS a option to be able to change the color,for those who wanted to tho.I remember when you had to be rooted just to take a screenshot ,the same way you do now without root.So it seems like it would be possible to have that color option for the battery,clock, signal,etc.
