Bravo, first of all!

Secondly, at what percentage does the battery identifier change color from green to yellow and from yellow to red? I know my rechargeable batteries kick out a "Low battery please replace" somewhere around 18% or lower and my keyboard is at 24% now and still showing green.

Not that big of a deal, just an observation. Maybe I am the user that is the outlier.

Yellow below 20%, red below 10%.

I'm open for discussion about sensible values. I'm new to wireless input devices and only recently noticed that my Magic Mouse went off just below 20%.

The real question is though, do the other wireless devices shut off at the same level the magic mouse does?

If my keyboard will work til lower than 10-15% or whatever, I don't think there is ANY reason for it to change. That will just have to be an unfortunate side effect of using the magic mouse.

The only solution I could see would be to change the magic mouse's indicators so that they change colors at different percentages than the other devices. And that just sounds like a little more of a pain to code.

I wouldn't know. I only wish I had a programming ability.

I must say though, the auto-recognition of devices is a really nice touch. The other widget, which I was using up til now, does not automatically update which devices are detected, you have to manually turn them on and off. Kinda a pain.

Maybe the poll will shed some light on this.

Adjusting the battery level indicators for each device would be trivial. However, the auto-recognition was painful to code. :)

Thanks for your feedback. I agree that it would be nice if the widget only showed connected devices and resized itself accordingly. Till now, I have been busy fixing bugs. Maybe I'll be able to add such a feature in the future.

May I ask what widget you are using now?

Thanks for the quick response!! Currently I am using Mighty Monitor. It doesn't have a percentage display, which is what I really want, but it allows me to stuff off.

Agreed. As a first step, the new version doesn't show the superfluous percent sign in that case.

i may not have been clear in my suggestion. What I meant is if I don't have a trackpad then I'd like to eliminate the entire trackpad line and just show the keyboard and mouse lines.

Yes, that was clear to me. The widget would have to resize itself then, depending on the number of connected devices. I'll keep it in mind but I am not sure when I'll tackle this.

After a device has been connected, it might take a minute or two until they report their battery levels. If version 1.2 does not fix your issue, please e-mail me the Terminal output of the following command:

ioreg -l

If you need further instructions, feel free to ask. Thanks.

Version 1.2 does not fix the issue. Also, if I flip the widget it still says version 1.0. I have emailed you a screenshot and the output.

Forgot to change the version on the back...

I found the reason why it's not working for you. It's a real pity that there are so many variations depending on the operating system and device.

That does make it difficult... So, do you essentially have to enable it per type of computer? In other words, now it will work for all Late '09 MacBooks and Magic Mice?

Maybe not for each type of computer. But depending on the input device and the version of "ioreg" the output might differ. And as I don't own all available Apple input devices and operating systems, I'm dependent on the help of users like you.

Okay, well I'm glad I could help!
