Mobility Site - View Single Post - Any battery indicator program for x51 that will not drain battery?

I used Resco until it started giving me trial expiration warnings (yesterday, I think).

I didn't have the problems described with either 5.30 or the preceding version, on my X51V. No battery drain, the CF card was always properly represented, and the battery reading has been accurate. I do get the "high" message very briefly sometimes when I wake my Axim -- it turns on with the reading on "high" for a second or two and then settles down to the actual battery level. Which seems harmless enough.

EDIT: But does anyone know anything free that puts the battery level on the taskbar or the tray or the Today screen? I guess I've been defending WM5 a lot, but I cannot understand the thinking behind an operating system where the design method of finding out how full your battery is, is to go into system preferences.
