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. :)

    I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but this widget tends to suck memory after being left on for a long period of time. Started at 9MB and over night found it was taking 36MB. It may be the engine, or the widget. Not sure.

    Constructive Criticism first:
    I use this mainly for tracking HD space/RAM. What would be stellar [and keep me from switching to other HD monitors] is if the balls could be shortcuts - to, say, the HD themselves, and I personally would like my RAM orb linking to my RAM defrag program. so even a generic shorcut option in the preferences would do perfectly.

    Otherwise, excellent widget, gorgeous looks and concept, 4 stars.

    I love it, but what would be really great would be an option to set a different colour for each hour, so that the clock will keep changing colour throughout the day (and it's good for telling the time at a quick glance - it's blue, so it must nearly be lunchtime)"

    let me second this suggestion.
    I'm just getting started with this, but I like what I see.

    I would love this widget if the things that measured percentages (aka Most Of Em) had percentages next to the number.

    I realize this may be trivial, but I perfer the balls rather small, making it difficult to reply on a ball's title to determine if I'm using 54% of my memory, or 54% memory free.
