IDEA: Show App CPU/MEMORY Usage on taskbar button
« on: December 09, 2010, 03:33 PM »
Would it be possible to create an app that would add a progress meter to the buttons on the taskbar to indicate CPU and/or Memory usage for each app.

or maybe just change the title to be the percentage + title

5% - Toad for Oracle | 10% - Untitled - Notepad | 30% - Inbox - Microsoft Outlook

Would you want this for every application in the taskbar?
