The iPod battery meter would be... interesting...

semiOfftopic question, is there a toolbar that displays battery information? (on MacOSX you get the percentaje, remaining time, and the icon, is there something alike for windows?)

Thnx!

#252323

This makes me wish I had a working laptop

#252366

thanks for all the comments!!

hope you enjoy it

and regarding the toolbar question, i dont think there is. thats just because you are restricted 16x16 pixels so there wouldnt be a way to go around it... though there COULD be a program out there. i could still be

wrong.

hey unionJack, this is a great addition to the flyakiteOSX kit! im using it now and its great.

One question tho, mine isn't kicking over to the "plugged in" icon?! Any clue as to why? With the normal DLL, its plugged in no problem, but with your piece, it stays on charging all the time, unless the machine is not plugged in?

Cheers and thanks for the great work!

not exactly an icon, but more like a toolbar (like iTunes toolbar, o WMP toolbar)...

hey trueno, thanks for the input . i'll try to get on it tommorow. i have an exam, so im busy now, but hopefully i'll update it tommorow night/after tommorow. glad you like it though!!

and D14852001neko, hmm, i'll take a look into it (i'll search around). if anyone knows for sure though, that'd be nice . hopefully i'll let you know if i find anything tommorow too . i know exactly what you mean though.

#252761

Another note too, if you ARE using Flyakite OS X, and you choose to use the update feature in flyakite, this dll will get replaced by the one included with flyakite's. so if you prefer this one, i'd recommend storing it somewhere else on your computer as well so that you can replace it again after the flyaOSX update is complete .

#252764

yup, i made sure to use yours AFTER the flyakite install.. its listed as 36.5kb. and by looking at it, its a bit more rounded than what is originally included in the fly-a-kite version.

actually, now that i think about it, both yours and teh fly-a-kite version have the same always-charging bug for me, whereas the stock windows systray icon does work correctly.

goodluck w/exams!

#252840

hey

ok so i think i fixed it. thanks for reporting it. give this one a shot and let me know if it's fixed. I can't check it myself becuase I'm at school right now so i can't charge my computer. Anyway. let me know! thanks, and hope you enjoy it

Hey Jack, don't take this bad, but please avoid storing the Preview PNG... Thats 80kb more (ok ok, I have broadband, but others maybe not, and... Dunno, seems more...hmmm... economic! =P)

Oh, and thnx for checking the toolbar thingy... I haven't been able to find it... v.vU

#252995

no problem

i'm glad you like it!!!

by the way, i really like your visual style. would you mind telling me where you got it? it doesnt look like kol's tiger or any of the ones ive seen here. also, this may be a dumb question lol, but how do you change your clock's font like that? and would you mind linking me to that display icon if you still have it on you? thanks and glad you like the battery mod

hey D1, i haven't been able to find anything. sorry about that.

in terms of the preview png thing, do you mean the one in my first post? sorry, i was under the impression that most people here had broadband :slant:

thanks for the hint though. i'll keep it in mind for next time

hey unionjack, use this for the image link at the top, its free and its a jpg so its a bit easier on the dial-up users:

http://imagehost.darkernet.co.uk/i/batmeter.jpg

about the visual style, yes, you would not have seen anything else like this before, well, because i made it.. elements are adapted from various other themes, but i don't think any of them come together as well as this, as you can judge for yourself from a few of my screeners. the systray clock is an interesting hack that i found out by accident in editing the stylebuilder xml ~1.5yrs ago... apparently it makes the clock in a shadowed font, where it leaves the rest of the taskbar normal..

(the batmeter is still the old flyakite version here... its a screener from 2 nights ago..)

PM me and i'll try to email you a 'test' copy, so far it works on all my units but of course other feedback would be appreciated~! :wink:

#253031

bravo sir. very well done

#254467

Sorry to bring to thread "up" again, but I liked the new battery icons very much. The standard XP ones are...well, forget about that.

The only thing I didn't like about it is that it looks a bit cut off. So I decided to make my own version of it and post it here. All credits go to the original author, it's really just a little mod it'd like to share with you to say "Thank You!".

You can dl it from

my account at the university.
