Informer

by Andy Duke

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

    I began to develop Informer 3.0, which will be 80% rewritten from scratch. You will see the feature to change the dock size, orientation (horizontal / vertical / floating), etc.

    xbabe82517 has got to be the dumbest bitch on God's green Earth. The Informer is VERY user friendly! I don't know how someone could NOT figure out how to use this! Pairing this with WindowBlinds 5.5 Dreamland theme, my computer is gorgeous and functional.

    xbabe82517, kill yourself and spare the world from any more stupid bitches. Thanks for teh Informer, Andy!

    Have been using this under Windows XP SP2 and it's brilliant - works really well. Installed the widget on a new Mac Pro and there seem to be a few issues. 1) My Mac has 6Gb of RAM but the Memory Meter only reports it has 2Gb (so the percentage shown is wrong), however the Memory Graph sensor shows the correct figure. 2) None of the email checkers work, they just report 'No data returned'. Have checked firewall & email program works fine, so not sure why the sensors don't work More

    Not sure why, but im getting some crazy high ram usage. it work fine (generally) but when i come back to work the next day, its using up almost all the available ram, 100% if it can... Otherwise, its probably the best widget out there...
