<h3>The Status Gidget</a></h3>
<UL>
<LI>The Status Gidget installs one Permanent Icon, and three functions: Mute, Volume, and Status Help (this file). All three do pretty much what you'd expect! Mute turns off the sound, Volume displays a volume slider, and Help shows <I>this</I> file.
<LI>To dismiss the Volume control, either select it <I>again</I>, or tap anywhere else on the screen.
<LI>The icon shows three status areas: Battery, Mute, and Connect.
<LI>The Battery Status will show yellow when charging, and blue when fully charged. When the PPC is <I>disconnected</I> from AC power, it will show remaining battery life in green, with the used fraction shown in red.
