I don't plan to change much more here.

excuse me, I was tired. any suggestions are welcomed!

here is another minor release.
I think it's pretty good now.

new: magnetized when close, but movable.
new: can hide or show.
new: has a systray icon, albeit not very pretty.
even when hidden, it continues to keep statistics.
hope this is good for your productivity - timing yourself, or staying more focused

Enjoy :-)

A movable window (on a rubber-band) that snaps back into the corner strikes me as a bit counter intuitive.

Fixed. now you can move it. it will jump back to screen when you put it offscreen, and when close by to one of the walls, will jump to it (magnetize).

I still need to disable double clicking the title, and make close X only hide it to systray.
there is visibility in systray now, you can exit, or show/hide it.

I like the progress bars for an at-a-glance overview, but they are a bit too active (draws the eye badly). Perhaps they could update from their current position, instead of zero each time to cut down on the blinking effect.

Does it flicker for you with the latest version?

you may try it.
any other suggestions?
right now it's fixed on showing the top 10 applications, I can have it configurable if you guys want.
see you soon, kobi

kobi7:
Another version.

you can now increase or decrease the number of items shown, by clicking (left click / right click) the +/- label in the new status bar.
closing a window, now only hides it.
better systray icon. (?)
systray menu done.

sources are included.
Enjoy.

I improved on my winforms knowledge from this tiny application. (understood their concept better)
This is probably the last version (unless you find a bug), as I'm content with the result.

Hope to post here something more meaningful, yet still as simple to use, in the near future.
See you, Kobi

Cool, I like best of both solutions.

Perhaps I explained that badly. Flickering implies that the program is rendering badly/malfunctioning...Which it is not. It runs fine.

It is the as designed behavior of repetedly going from zero to X that keeps the UI in a constant state of motion. Which is what tends to draw the eye.

FWIW, it seems to work but doesn't display properly on my computer (Windows XP SP3).  Here's a screenshot:
