Informer

by Andy,Andy

This Widget monitors your system resources (CPU usage, disk usage, memory usage, swap usage, system uptime, WiFi, battery life, Recycle Bin/Trash), Internet resources (RSS feeds, IMAP4/POP3 MailBoxes and Gmail Inbox), etc., and displays it on your desktop.

You can set up multiple sensors (useful for multiple Gmail accounts or RSS feeds) too!

    This is a pretty cool widget, I just have one problem. I want the widget to display at the top of my screen, but it covers the close button for Safari. Does anyone know how to move Informer over so that I can still Close, Minimize and Expand Safari?

    Great widget. Have been using it for several years with almost no problem with it. I don't know the answer to the problems the guys here have been having with the Informer, but I just can say keep on trying different workarounds, e.g. closing and opening the widget, reinstalling it, or even reinstalling the widget engine itself. The interesting thing for me is that yesterday I noticed that Yahoo widget engine didn't seem to load (apparently) and my clicking on the program from the Starts More

    The author hasn't modified this widget for more than two and a half years already - do you seriously believe that he is going to "fix" anything? It should be clear by now that most widgets have become "abandonware"...

    Incidentally, this particular widget works just fine on my machine. Which makes me think that it is not the widget itself that is broken but one of the sensors (that I'm not running). Try turning them off one by one and see which one is causing the problem.

    Yes, same problem as James (Aug 22). Been running unchanged for many years. Now it throws this error at start up. Real shame as it's a brilliant tool and I rely on it heavily. A plea to the author...ignore the requests for enhancements. Please just fix it.
