Description
PSA: Unfortunately this project has now been abandoned as I've moved onto other stuff, and the update server is no longer in use (so Check for updates will just throw an error). Thanks for all the support all this time!
A simple program that changes your taskbar into a dynamic color-changing resource meter!
Latest Version: v2.2.2 - Added automatic updating and single-instance enforcement.
View your CPU, RAM or Active Disk Usage as a dynamic bar representation... in the form of your Taskbar!
Options:
Auto-check updates: will check for updates daily
Show settings at startup: open the settings window whenever you run the program
Fade colours: whenever it changes from one colour to another, it will blend the colours in a smooth animation
Hide tray icon: removes the tray icon from the system tray. Closing it will require ending the process, and to restore the icon you must edit settings.rcts in a text editor and change it to:
HideIcon[TAB]False
appearing as such:
HideIcon False
Split by width/height: arrange the two bars side-by-side or on top of one another
Left-aligned/Bottom-aligned: anchor the relevant bar to the left or bottom of the screen (depending what side of the screen your Taskbar is on)
Refresh rate: how often the bar updates its values in milliseconds
Supports: Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1
For Windows 7, works best with AeroPlain (irrelevant for Windows 8 and 8.1)
Enjoy, comment, , and !
