Many thanks for the share

Great! I'm always wanted this kind of program. Don't wanna those fancy thing that always come along..

is there something like this that does not replace the start bar???
Something with the indicator or just a percentage that replaces the original battery indicator??

If you go into Settings you will see that it can replace not only Start button...

hey pretty cool! looking for a simple indicator for ages! Thanks

Wondering if there is any chance of having it where the original indicator used to sit? and not block any text in the start bar???
