Author NinJA999/Shaken Software


Description
I needed a battery monitor that fit into my desktop.  While I use RainMeter and like some of those meters, I figured I'd make my own.

Features
It's easy to monitor battery remaining with PowerCircle, complete with:
  • Transparent Background
  • Different Sizes
  • Color Customization
PowerCircle easily blends into a desktop.

Planned Features
Maybe a low-power alarm or something.

Screenshots


Usage
Installation
Unzip it and run PowerCircle.exe

Using the Application
Left-clicking allows one to move the application.
Right-clicking allows one to access the menu.

Uninstallation
Delete the files

Known Issues
The transparency doesn't work perfectly on the text.
(not really a program issue) I didn't have time to make the website awesome.  Right now it's just the picture above and a link.  Sad

Looking nice  Thmbsup ...

Power Meter Plus was just featured on lifehacker and the initial feedback is positive... maybe you want to draw attention to your little gadget?

Thanks, glad you like it.  It was programmed in just a couple of days, because I was way too busy.  I feel like it's not up to the caliber of the other entries, but I use it myself, just in a corner of the screen on small.

I'm not sure mine can even stand up to the one featured on Lifehacker; that said, mine can fit into a smaller space (on the small setting)...

Thanks!

It looks worse in the picture because of the compression--the circle is actually pretty smooth.

Nice idea. Seems to be off by 1% though. e.g. when GetSystemPowerStatus says there's 83% left, PowerCircle says there's 82% left.

I use PowerCircle on my work laptop when I'm on battery because I know my battery will barely last past an hour, so it's great to have a simple visual indication of my battery remaining.

Great Work Thmbsup
