I've watched this thread, and think it's a great idea. But IMO we have 
to be careful not to put too much information in the tooltip. Otherwise, 
users will need to spend more time locating the information they need. 
Besides, if we were to add a visual representation of the free/used 
percentage of space to the icon, why add another one in the tooltip? I 
think it's overkill. Please just show the percentages and actual numbers 
in the tooltip.
