Change the image for banner elements
You can change the image for each of the banner elements, such as the signal meters and notification icons. Some
elements, such as the battery meter, use a composite image that displays several states for the element. Some
images, such as those for the Alarm, Unread items, and New items, are shared between banners. You cannot change
them independently; changes you make to any of these elements for either the Home screen or Application list
screen appear on both screens.
