DONE: Date/Time and Battery Status Bar

I'll try to find some time in the next few days. There's no rush, I hope?

Otherwise, I am sure someone else would be just as glad to take care of it.

rsatrioadi:
No rush, it's perfectly fine. Take your time :)

skwire:
These may or may not suit your needs but I thought I throw them out there anyway.

I present to all of you... Teensymon v0.3.0!

You can get it from the Teensymon open directory. You can find this version and any future versions I happen to release at that location. (Saves me from updating links left and right, yes?)

I was too lazy to add in tons of stuff involving configurability, and went for the bare necessities:

* Anti-feature: Black background
* Anti-feature: White text
* Anti-feature: A single line of a tiny 8pt Consolas font
* Feature: Shows whether you are using battery (DC) or current from your wall (AC).
* Feature: Shows how long you have till your battery takes a nap.
* Feature: Shows how long it takes for your battery to fully recharge. (Sadly, it seems the nature of batteries aging means it instead becomes an impossibly long to satisfy time the further it gets along with charging.)
* Feature: Left-click and drag around.
* Feature: Middle-click hides for 5 seconds in case it gets in the way.
* Feature: Right-click offers a menu with an About and an Exit option.
* Feature: The file is only 45kb large. It can't get much smaller than that!
Stuff that might need adding in future versions:

* A configuration file with settings like the colours used, more detail about the date formats and such to use, etc.
All in all, I have tried to keep the output as short as possible, but I think the long date format from your mockup is not as useful as you might expect it to be in the new drag around format. I think something like 2010-11-26 18:07 is shorter, more to the point and friendlier to your limited screen real-estate. But for now the long date format is what it shows as it most closely matches what you requested. :)

If there is anything else you'd like to see added, give a shout and I'll see what I can do. :)

Edit: Oh right. I have a habit of compiling against the redistributable libs as opposed to a full all-in-one package, so you may need to get Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) to run it.

(That all kind of throws my 'only 45kb' argument out of the window, huh? Well, just wait till you get dozens of apps needing those libs, then you'll see it saves space.  :D)

skwire:
Nicely done, worstje.   :D
