- The selected update frequency for tools such as the CPU utilization and RAM significantly impact on the CPU utilization of Vista Sidebar itself. For example, a 1 second update frequency causes Sidebar to jump to ~1.5% CPU utilization; whereas a 5 second frequency drops it to ~0.5% utilization. Perhaps there is some additional optimization in the code that can be done to reduce this?

- When the clock is not selected for display, the date format enlarges…which is great. However, the year is not always displayed because of not enough room. This varies based on the day of the week or the month. Maybe the year can be truncated to 08 instead of 2008?

I run a Windows Vista Home Premium, have AMD Turion64 dual core, and your System Monitor have one problem (for me, at least) -

When I put the preference on the CPU bar as one averaged CPU percentage, when the CPU reaches 100% the bar only shows 50%, and vice versa, the CPU percentage bar seem to show only half of the actual usage, and it’s real bugging to see it as 36% when it’s already 72%.

Other than that, your gadget is perfect, but due to the above problem I can’t use it, when you hopefully fixed this glitch I’ll come back and use your gadget.

But Anyway, Thanks for this great Gadget.

mo, unfortunately, the sidebar API only gives information about the wireless IP on laptops. For some reason, the sidebar was never given built in wired IP calls. We’re hoping to alleviate this in the future, probably though doing some custom ActiveX programming.

Everyone Else, thanks for the suggestions, we are reading them and hope to be able to include many of them as time goes on, this gadget is far from perfect. Don’t worry, we’re working on it.
