+Notes about laptop daemon's icons:
+
+ lo16-app-klaptopdaemon.png - is only used for the context menu
+ only the 16x16 is actually needed
+
+ in fact with recent changes to the iconloader icons other than
+ the 16x16 (really 20x20) are BAD - please don't create them
+
+ the 3 icons in the action directory:
+ laptop_charge/laptop_concharge/laptop_nobattery
+
+ are 'special' - they are read by the application and
+ modified on-the-fly to create a bar-graph of how full
+ the battery is - you can't just edit them the way you would
+ a normal icon - basically any white pixels will be replaced
+ with a proportional number of blue ones from the bottom of
+ the icon to the top (so pure white pixels are 'magic' and
+ should be treated as the portion of the icon that is the graph)
+ you can use slightly off-white or a not-quite-saturated
+ white if you want 'white'
+
+ I'd love some cool new battery icons but please contact me
+ if you need some testing before committing
