What do the yellow icons mean?
pwabrahams:
I'd suggest that the next time the manual is revised, labelled instances of all those icons be included. Unexplained icons are all too common in the computing world, so Rockbox has plenty of company.
Llorean:
Rockbox is a community project. A patch would be welcome if you'd like to see that change.

--- Quote ---Status bar: The Status bar shows Battery level, charger status, volume, play mode, repeat mode, shuffle mode and clock. In contrast to all other items, the status bar is always at the top of the screen.

But it doesn't indicate the actual icons associated with these items.

The icons are in the same order they are mentioned, from left to right. Is that so far-fetched?
pwabrahams:
I'd suggest that the text be modified like this:
The Status Bar shows the battery level [battery icon], charger status [charge icon], volume [volume icon], play mode [play icon], repeat mode [repeat icon], shuffle mode [shuffle icon], and clock [clock icon].
For anyone not already involved in maintaining the documentation, any change, even an almost trivial one like this, is probably at least a full day's work: understanding the environment, finding the icon images, understanding the revision system and the related administrative conventions, negotiating access to the relevant files, etc. For someone already involved and familiar with those things, I'd think the effort would be minimal.
By the way, the WPS only shows five icons but there are seven in that list.

Shuffle mode and Repeat mode are only shown if they are turned on.
