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!
Current Version: 2.8.2

    Please add:

    1) System Volume Control
    2) Pop-up's showing below the informer bar. Right now, they are only above the bar. I like to use the bar at the top, rather than the bottom, so having the option to make pop-up's appear below would make this the perfect widget and tool for my desktop.

    By the way, great widget! Thanks for the work.

    Was great at first, exactly what I wanted until you discover how horrifically impossible it is to move the sensors around. You can, you can't. I tried dragging (doesn't work) and adding spaces (pain in the ass). What you'll find is that you have to delete each sensor and then add it all once again one by one to the order you want it. Seriously, does anyone know how to do this?

    WOW, what an incredible widget. I had some problems learning how to set it up but after getting past the learning curve it's truly awesome. It's loaded with features and very configurable. Still needs a little work to improve reliability but this is one sensor I'll be using a lot.

    Here's some hints for those that are having the same problems I did.
    Moving Sensors:
    You should be able to drag them to a new location but they must be placed on the right or left of the bar; to place More
