Panzer RAM Gauge Yahoo Widget

Description

This dieselpunk Panzer RAM gauge widget - This widget just had an update - a code update just bringing it up to scratch.

The Panzer RAM widget is a pretty Yahoo widget for your desktop. The RAM gauge displays memory usage for your desktop/laptop. Both functional and gorgeous at the same time, I based this widget upon my original U Boat yahoo widget stopwatch clock which has a decidedly military aspect.

I took the screenshot photo too. It looks like 1944 but it was more like 2004! I created this originally for the World of Tanks and War Thunder communities.
The widget can be resized - Hover the cursor over the widget. Press the CTRL key and use your mousewheel up or down. The widget will resize dynamically. Here is just one more of over 500 steampunk icons and widgets that I have created that will leave your Windows or Mac desktop looking absolutely spiffing. There is a whole set of the little thingies and I must say they do look very steampunk indeed! They really are a suitable replacement for the boring old default icons that come with Windows/Rocketdock/ObjectDock &c.

*UPDATE* This is the Yahoo version. Why are there two versions? Well, the other Xwidget version is fine and it works well but Xwidgets can be a bit flaky especially if you are running a few of them. The Yahoo/Konfabulator versions run more smoothly and interferes far less with your system.

I created all the graphics: hands, surround, reflections myself. It is all my code with some solid help from Harry Whitfield.

STATUS:  Completed I think. Any bugs please report.

THINGS TO DO: Nothing more than a bug or two, if you find any.

It is a fully working widget. Please feel free to download it.
