Battery Monitor.NET

[Schmoove]

thanks for the great work schmoove.  One thing I noticed, my display is 1600X1200 and when i place the monitor all the way to the top right log out and back in again the monitor moves over to the left about 100-200 pixel or so.  It won't stay close to the edge where i leave it

Did you check the option "Remember monitor position"on the preferences tab?

Great tool !

But there's some bugs (dunno if they were already said, sorry) :

- When launching Battery Monitoring, it instantly eats 15 Mb of RAM. I then reduce all active windows (Window Key + D), then double-click its icon in the tray, then the memory usage is reduced to 1.8 Mb

- When clicking on the dektop, the metter disappears...

that's not a bug... it's due to the .net framework, there isn't much Schmoove could do to *fix* the problem...

ok

the program was working great and now i have an incredibly weird error

when moving the mouse over the battery monitor it locks the cursor to it and the monitor moves with it, but if you try to move it to fast it "comes un stuck" as it where

its really puzzling me :(

I know it can happen, I know why it happens.... but haven't been able to create a workaround yet. If you click on it it will release it though.

For now... just don't move it around too much ;)

Have there been any new developments to this great software?

[Schmoove]

nope

Some issues, when I Hide Monitor it still appears the next time I ran it (a reboot). Anyway to let it stay hidden, as the system tray is good enough.

Another, how do I hide the one that's with XP beside using the "Customize Notification" to hide it. In the Power Meter I don't see an option to not show the meter. Thanks for the proggy and advices.

EDIT: The always show meter in the Power Meter options is already unchecked and the meter still load.

Hmm so no plans for updates/new skins?

This really is an amazing program.

If not, any alternative programs that are similar?

In previous posts here... schmoove said he's been too busy, so he will probably start working on things when he is no longer busy again.

It is a great application already, I've been using it since it was released and it is great :) so I can't complain..

[Schmoove]

Look I work all day (7:00 to 18:30, including travelling). I just moved and my appartment is a mess still.

I haven't hooked up my PC yet (writing this from work) and don't even have internet (yet) at home because of moving.

So.... don't expect anything soon.

Later when I got everything sorted out I will probably pick it up again, though I can't really say when that is.

@Ritalin:

About the skins. The format is very basic. Just a couple of PNG files and an XML file which needs no explanation. Anyone can freely make skins. So if you want more skins you can either make it yourself or ask someone to make it for you.

Again sorry for the lack of updates, but I just can't work on it at the moment..... my apologies.

[Ritalin]

Dude, absolutely no problem, i totally understand it's not a priority :)

Great program anyway :)

[jamend]

Any chance you could let us work on it? Would be nice =)

[Seth]

Nope, he said he won't release the source.

[ramitisb]

Awesome software, jsut one thing though.

If I drag the monitor over the taskbar and leave it there, when I click on the task bar it dissapears, (hides behind it I think).

Hoping for a fix for taht.

Thanks,

Sorry guys, I didn't get a chance to search through the thread but did the memory resource problem get resolved? I remember seeing something about it being 300 megs or something like that... ?

[Banzai]

will this project ever take off again now or is it going to die now?

It's a battery program! it's not a mission critical application. Give the guy some time :p

[Schmoove]

I have a few days off next week and then I will release the version I have on my pc right now. It has some small bugfixes.

That will be the last version, since I started making a fancy virtual desktop manager. Therefore I don't have time to continue this... besides I don't see the need as it already does what it was supposed to do and it does it fine.

[TormentoR]

I hope the small bugfixes include the "alt tab" bug :)

I don't see the need for the winsows batt. tray icon, how can i disable it? (not hide it!)

Great program Schmoove! now i'm the bomb at school ;)

[+chorpeac MVC]

Oh yeah, did you ever get an update for it?

[Schmoove]

I'll try to find the time to upload it tonight

I hope the small bugfixes include the "alt tab" bug

It has been a while since I worked on it and I compiled it quite a while ago, but I believe I did fix that.

[Schmoove]

Updated. The latest version is now 0.7
