Informer

by 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!
Current Version: 2.8.3

    Quite simply my favorite yahoo widget! I have wanted to be able to replace the silly Windows Start Menu and Toolbar for along time. However, there are a few changes. I would like to see. First of all, I agree with Sean that the widget does not move like it's supposed to. Also, there several other options that don't work correctly. I would also like the option to remove the sensor names and information such as percentages on the toolbar since I can scroll over them and see that info More

    My taskbar is attached to top of the screen. Informer doesnt see this.
    I moved Informer to the bottom of screen (http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/782/screen01i.gif).
    Position is saved until changing resolution (for exaple during starting some games).
    After exiting games I see a space between informer and bottom of screen ~25px. (http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/6678/screen02.gif)

    Please please please fix this!

    p.s. problem surely not in multimonitor configuration.

    Seems like it could be a good widget. But after spending 15min+ trying to move the toolbar anywhere or making sense out of some of the "options" available that dont seem to work, I gave up.

    Suggestion:
    Have the ability to free-move the window! I Dont want a bar that runs accross my whole screen. The whole idea of using widgets is to have small, customizable mini-applications that you can place *anywhere* on your desktop.

    I think this is a cool widget, but has anyone else been having trouble with the suspend button? It's supposed to put it on standby, but puts it into hibernate instead. Just curious if it's just my machine or other machines too.
