Searching for battery meter for a long time

[smurfgun]

Hi All,

I've been searching for a battery meter for a long time.

I want one that just goes in the top or bottom task bars. I like how the battery pack pro looks but I don't want any additions to the today screen.

Anybody know of one?

You can try Wisbar or Magic Button. They will both put a battery meter in the Start Menu bar.

Best of luck!

Try Wisbar Advanced or Magic Button.

Great minds think alike...

I know exactly what you mean. I was also spent ages looking for a simple yet good looking battery monitor.
Then I found "Magic Button". It's a fantastic program manger that also has a built in battery monitor. And it's free. It doesn't screw up your today screen. I highly recomend it.

I use Magic Button too. It only uses 67KB of storage. :approve:

Is there one that tells the percent as well? (as oppose to magic button)

The freeware utility that I use is called KBattery, which sit on the top navigation bar on the screen. A very simple, clean utility that shows the battery percent and a small graphics. It works great on my x50v with the VGA screen.

It's text based. I posted a today screen pic that shows the meter at the following link, post #4:
