Wow I did forget to leave out the shadow preference. Ill make sure it is in the next release. Though I somehow doubt Ill ever get another review from you Jon to update the rating. So I guess Im stuck with a 1 star review for forgetting a single preference. Rather harsh dont you think?

Oddly, Uptime Monitor and Time Monitor have no option for "Use Aqua Shadow" as does Memory Monitor and CPU Usage. This greatly detracts from an otherwise attractive widget. For a family of widgets which are stylistically so similar, it's strange that the Preferences panels are so different. Unification of preferences as well as unification of appearance in the shadowing would greatly benefit an otherwise beautiful interface.

I'd go with the mega-timer suggestion - maybe one monitor that flips between the different displays. However I think these monitors are great and I keep three on show all the time. I'd say forget stay with the round buttons too. I can see they're just like an Aston Martin starter button.

The uptime and clock have color-changing, yes.
however, all the other widgets, the status colors change depending on the status,, for example, the wireless changes from green to yellow to red (hitting all steps inbetween) as the signal drops from 100 to 0.. so,, changing colors there would be rather difficult.

however, with cruciarius' help, I will be releasing a new version of the cpu monitor, with several different skins.

Great set of widgets, two suggestions though:
-A widget that contains all of these monitors and that can be viewed vertically, horizontally, or even on some kind of curve (to look like a real dashboard)for Konspose. The title for this "mega widget" would be the computer name and possible IP address.

-The Uptime and Time Monitors have options for displaying in different colors. All of the SystemDashboard widgets should have this option, just to make it look a little more unified.
