Alternative to Battery Pack Pro

I have used Battery Bar Pro since my first PPC, and I love it. But i was wondering if there is a better alternative? If you have a suggestion, can you please also tell me why what your recommending is better than Battery Bar Pro.

Thanks!

Hmmmm...looks pretty cool. Makes the PPC look almost like XP. With all those enhanced features, does it make the system run slower? (or is it similar to Battery Pack?)

I like Battery Pack because I can put program icons on the today screen. Can Wisbar do that? If not, is there another program that can also?

I use Pocket Plus (used to have freeware cLaunch), WisBarAdvace 2 and UpTimeMeter (on my ipaq 1915 I used BatMemTime, which doesn't work on x50v ). I tried Battery Pack Pro but I didn't like this program.

Yep I like Pocket Plus as well. It has several options to display the battery info. Of course it does quite a bit more then just battery info. Nice option if you are also looking for a nice today plugin. Good Luck~

TDLauncher is free and can add Icons to the today screen. You can also look for ICBAR.

Pocket Plus is an awesome today plugin as well as providing other useful enhancements.

Icbar is nice but I have recently encountered problems with it causing soft resets on the x30. It seems effected by notifications as well and disappears from the screen frequently. I have over half of my storage memory free too so the memory is abundantly available to run it.

I have tried today warrior...it is free. Found here http://personales.ya.com/webpages/To...or/English.htm Seems a bit unstable although the author has claimed to address the current OS as well as x50 and VGA compatibility.

I tried installing the trial Pocket Plus with the latest Wisbar 2.0 Advanced, but I noticed that when I go to Start --> settings --> system, the screen goes blank, and the PPC freeze. Anyone else have this problem?
