The X61 battery power meter on the status bar tray color is white background
with light gray meter. I have difficulty reading it. I can only see the
battery power percentage when I move the mouse over it to show the number.

How can I change the battery power meter color scheme?

Or, where can I load another power meter program. My X61 runs in Vista Home
Basic.

I remember when I had the ThinkPad R31, IBM support gave me the link to
download the power meter program, when mine disappeared. But that was in XP.

Thanks.
