DriveGauge is a simple yet powerful, highly customizable utility designed to give you visual feedback on how full your hard drives are directly on each drive's icon. The Drive List lists all your volumes, including their name, location, current icon, and percent used. Highlighting a volume shows a live preview without altering the actual icon and you can choose which drives to add gauges to or which icons to restore or delete. DriveGauge also allows you to choose one of six default icons (Backup, Hard Drive, FireWire, iPod, iDisk, Custom) to use or you can use the current icon.

DriveGauge is a simple yet powerful, highly customizable utility designed to give you visual feedback on how full your hard drives are directly on each drive's icon. The Drive List lists all your volumes, including their name, location, current icon, and percent used. Highlighting a volume shows a live preview without altering the actual icon and you can choose which drives to add gauges to or which icons to restore or delete. DriveGauge also allows you to choose one of six default icons (Backup, Hard Drive, FireWire, iPod, iDisk, Custom) to use or you can use the current icon.
DriveGauge fully supports custom icons and backs these up and will also back up the chosen icon if a custom one isn't present just in case. Simply choose which drives you want to restore and the gauges will be gone. You can also use the delete functionality to permanently remove all traces of DriveGauge from a drive. DriveGauge also supports relaunching the Finder to see the applied gauges. Automatic updating is included alongside styles and other useful features including a news pane to get the latest DG news. Growl notifications allow your computer to inform you when it's running out of space without having to do anything more than clicking a checkbox.
We think DriveGauge is a useful little utility and are proud to be able to share it for free with the world. Feel free to download it and give it a try. It never hurts to be able to know a little more about your computer's health.
Please view the included ReadMe for any additional notes or the Help that is now available or join us in the iNexus Forum (a link is also provided in the Help menu). We have added an optional Register/Donate interface for those who would like to contribute to the future development of this project.
The DriveGauge Setup Assistant is available here (required for first use only).

1) Custom icons are supported. DriveGauge not only detects a custom icon already set but it will not overwrite that icon with a generic one but uses the one that is there already.
2) There are known issues listed on the site, in the ReadMe, and in the Help with selecting and setting custom icons. We are working on improving it.
3) Many icon authors do not distribute their icons as .icns files, they distribute them as they were in OS 9, a resource fork, which is not supported by DriveGauge.
For what it's worth, every icon seen at Infinite Nexus was set using DG, not via the Finder or other methods, so it does work. Your experience was obviously not what you wanted, but is that a reason to publicly tarnish a product when you did not even make the effort to get support? (we have not had any support e-mails within the past 4 days, thus I can safely make this statement)

Been using this program for quite some time with no problems except the size update needing a little nudge but this new one is just crashing constantly. I hope it gets fixed but the updating is working so it isn't all that important, just playing in the pref's is not possible.

Once I did get some of it working, the app was constantly confused about which drive was which, placing my iPod icon onto my main hard disk sometimes.
*** When I took my valuable time, and sent a bug report to the author, and suggested that he withdraw this app until it worked properly, he FLAMED me and suggested that I was stupid.
I do NOT recommend this software to anyone, due to the rudeness and arrogance of the author.
