Developer’s Description

By William Warsinski
Display and monitor your system statistics on your desktop.

System Widget shows your system stats: CPU usage %, RAM usage %, virtual RAM, battery life left, wireless signal, and it shows you the amount of space free on a hard drive, (you can choose any letter from A-Z). Unlike other widgets that show your computer info you can move each Guage separate from each other, in System Widget. Any of these features can be turned off in the preference window, to turn off the hard drive window select, none where you chose the drive letter. You can set the time to update from 1-5 seconds.

The CPU number will turn colors dependent on how high the CPU usage is. You can choose between three (3) sizes now: large, medium, and small. System Widget will now automatically check for an update when System Widget starts, and you can right click on a window and select check for update, to check for an update anytime. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
