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!

    I am running Vista and also am unable to move the sensors. The only way to arrange the sensors the way you desire is to remove sensors & then replace sensors in scheme of your choice. Unfortunately you must repeat this each time you choose to have the sensors arranged differently. When attempting to move sensor I do see a placement symbol - however when releasing from dragging the sensor does not move! Anyybody have a fix?

    This widget provides a lot of nice displays for vital information, such as CPU usage, battery meter, wifi signal, and even lets you add shortcuts. But Informer does take up quite a bit of memory. Right now it's using around 16MB of memory on my machine. Also, I'm wondering if the CPU usage could be reduced for the graphs (CPU, RAM, Network). Each graph would use about 3% of my CPU. For comparison, the graphs in the software Process Explorer made by Sysinterals only use 1% for 4 grap More

    This program has good web buzz. i just started with it but I'm pretty excited to get everything on it.. It's about the same size as the taskbar, which it sits above. Looks good
