My comments;

1.  please do write to sugar-devel@ for any small doubt,

2.  read the source code for the frame icons to see how they are
shown,

3.  read the source code for the Icon classes and look at how a
"badge" is applied,

4.  read the source code for the neighbourhood view and look at how
the wireless icons are filled in based on signal strength,

5.  because Sugar is designed to run native on a laptop, and only then
will certain features be visible to you, please learn to run it native
without a VM, otherwise you won't have the same user experience as a
VM,

6.  read help.sugarlabs.org as a quick way to see the user experience,

7.  rather than change the icon image, use GTK and Cairo to draw the
icon, so that the icon can be whatever you want,

8.  virtualisation software may hide your battery from the virtual
machine, or your computer might have no battery; you can emulate a
battery by editing the source code that discovers the battery and
extracts the state of charge,
