Light weight power and memory indicator.

PowerStatus is a very small and light weight application. The best part about it that I like is that it doesn't take much screen display resource and yet always available. It can be downloaded from here.

However, since it is an exe running in it's own process, it takes some precious resource from the OS. As the source code is available for download as well, I took the liberty and modified it so it runs as a "service" thread under the system service.exe process. In my version, I split the memory bar in program memory (left side) and storage memory (right side).

The binary code is attached if you are interested to try. I haven't got the chance to write an installer, so you need to copy the dll to "\windows" directory and import the registry file from PHM regedit program.

Please let me know if you like it or if you have any improvement suggestions.

Cheers,
Dogfood
