I would imagine this feature to look like this with four drop-down options:
Upper-left: [battery, memory, load, cpu-speed, none]
Upper-right: [battery, memory, load, cpu-speed, none]
Lower-left: [battery, memory, load, cpu-speed, none]
Lower-right: [battery, memory, load, cpu-speed, none]

So one can specify which corner of the screen to show what... or nothing at all. It would even be possible to have duplicates... I know it's not that useful, but someone may care. I for one am pissed that the built-in button mapper won't allow me to map two buttons to the same function so I have to bypass it through the registry.
I've been thinking about the position customization thing. Since you can freely choose what to monitor, the options are much more than what you suggested. I haven't figured out a good way of doing that yet. The solution has to be simply and intuitive. I don't want to put any user-unfriendly feature in my code. That why I haven't rushed in yet.
Thanks for the suggestion and encourgements. :approve:

I have a WM5 device so your app doesn't run if I soft-reset. I would have to go to settings to start it up again. I know it's something to do with the app not being signed, but would it be possible to put a shortcut in the startup folder to start the program automatically?
I don't have WM5 to test on. The starter is already in the "Start up" folder to load the monitor. Actually that is the difference between the wm2003 version and the wm5 version. From what I've heard, it works. Can other WM5 users out there confirm, please?
