It's Circle Battery Widget form Market, with ample customisation etc. Very good.
The only thing it may lack is there is no 'Charging' notification, but no big deal.
Waiting for your comment, because I know if I don't hear from you, then I've missed the mark!!! :D

Something else I have discovered is 'File Manager' to replace Astro. It is awesome.

Ok Niteowl, you're the umpteenth person Ive seen mention File Manager lol. So I just downloaded it and gonna see if I like it. I like the interface of it so far.

LMAO! Oh wow, that caught me off guard. I had to burst out laughing at that one. My cat looked at me like "WTH is that about?!!" Good one, Niteowl. Im liking it so far though. :)

I've attached another one for you, but probably nothing wrong with your one.
For eg the transparent image shows up as a white block when selecting it to attach to this post, but if you open the PNG file in eg Photoshop you will see it is transparent. From Desktop vIsualiser it should show up as solid black, but when you add it to your screen it will be transparent.
Thanks for your comments. Appreciated.

Thanks again! I actually got the other one to work finally, had something to do with trying to download directly to my phone, but appreciate the help nonetheless.

Cheers!

How exactly are you making custom unread count widgets?

I use APK Manager to open the apk file then drop the images I want into the res\drawable-hdpi folder. Re-zip the file, sign it then install the apk on your device. XDA has a good tutorial on how to use APK Manager HERE. Its discussing modding widgetlocker apk's but the same concept applies to any apk file.
