Performance Meter

Description

This utility is an evolution of Simple Battery Meter, a really simple battery meter I wrote for my laptop 9 years ago.

In addition to displaying the battery level, it also displays the current CPU usage and Memory usage, so you know when something is draining your battery.

Installation

This application uses the native Windows API to retrieve performance data, so it should work on Windows 2000 and above.

Features

1. Display CPU usage, Memory usage, and Current Battery Level on a small floating window.
2. Lightweight - The program is less than 500KB, and it would not put too much load on your system when it’s running.
3. Native Look - It uses the icons from your system, so it always has a native look regardless of the system you’re running.

Planning Update

1. Configuration UI - I will add a configuration UI for users to decide which meters one wants to display.
2. Title Bar Removal - The title bar is a surplus UI element. I will remove it in the future.
3. More Performance Meter
   • Network Activity
   • Phyiscal Disk Activity
   • …And more.
