If you see the USB icon you're in USB mode, not charging mode. While the player can charge on USB connection it doesn't need to (you can disable charging on USB, at least for various players). And some players can't charge from USB at all (like the H100 series).
Plus, with the default theme the battery icon that also shows if there's charging in progress is in the top left, not the bottom right.

I see USB picture plus tiny charging status on bottom left (different theme) But in the end while charging I want to see big progress indicator like in the picture above.

And how do you want to use the player when it's charging but not connected via USB (i.e. it has a power-only connection)? By watching a big charging icon?

I may be mistaken about the original intent, but my idea was a screen with a clock on it, battery indicator, maybe a calendar if it's not too hard to code.
I'd use it by looking at it to see the time, or to see if the battery was full.

That seems as though it would remove an awful lot of usability...
You'd rather see a big charging image and a clock than actually be able to use your player while it's in a charge only state?
