Glow Ball (System Edition)

by Martin Feil

This Widget features up to 8 glowing balls which smoothly change their color based on time, CPU load, free memory, wireless signal strength, battery capacity and network latency (ping).

Almost everything can be configured to meet your desktop needs.

Have fun. :)

[Editor's Note] To move this Widget...

    I figured out why it crashes for me. Go through all 8 balls and make sure that none have "Data" set to "Time (clock)". On my system (XP), the clock functionality doesn't work, and if I have any ball set to clock, then it prevents me from turning other balls on. Once I ensure that none are set to clock, then all 8 work, and ping works also.

    Except for this bug, I love this widget. It's way fun.

    I like this widget but it has major defects. Clock and Ping functionalities don't work. Ball #5 doesn't work, but you can get Balls 6-8 to appear but turning #5 on and off (strange, I know). I wish the author would fix it because it's pretty cool.

    Great widget! One thing.... is it possible to make more than one ball for CPU if you have more than one processer?

    Could be cool, but as a previous poster said the widget keeps crashing when you click "ball preferences".
