BAMBAM  Version 4.9 great, but one little problem here : when iStat Pro 4.9 is active in Dashboard, the Dashboard applicaton eats about 10% of prosessor activity, as shown by Activity Monitor, even when the widgets are not shown on the desktop.

Disabling iStat Pro 4.9 then results in near 0% activity required by Dashboard.

Re-installation of iStat Pro 4.8 also results in near 0% activity required by Dashboard.

Is it my iMac G5 - 2GHz - 2GB Ram - 10.5.7, or is it version 4.9 of iStat Pro ?

BLLOYD  iStat Pro really is great. A beautiful, functional, low-impact "dashboard" of what's going on on your Mac.

I've used iStat Pro on and off for years; I was using iStat Menus because it was easier but right now it's incompatible with 10.6 (they know about this and will be addressing it), so I'm back to iStat Pro which is really a very nice dashboard widget.  
(Version 4.9)

CRYPTO7  Awesome program... does it what it says, doesn't require too much RAM for it (but I guess that's relatively speaking if you have 8 GB) and it's the only thermal program I can find that has all the temps w/out installing some ugly hack or startup item.  
(Version 4.6)

GUNNI  In another comment on this application here, I noted the text and numbers appeared overlarge on my iMac.

I wrote the developer and he directed me here for a fix. IStat Pro now works just fine after I deleted the two files he suggested and restarted.

The fix may be found at:

STUDIODAVE56  Tried to try this and the downloaded file crashes finder.10.4.11  
(Version 4.5)

GUNNI  Is anyone else running Leopard having a problem with this neat little widget? I downloaded and ran it in Tiger and it displayed normally. In Leopard, however, it displays as if it my monitor were broken. Other widgets display just fine, but iStat Pro is pixelated and difficult, but not impossible, to read. Bob

RINCKER  great widget, but please make the tall skin wider again (it's far too small now) and graphite should be dark-grey not grey-blue ...

thank you  
(Version 4.01)

MCKENRYA  Thanks for getting the temp monitors working on Mac Pro's. The one feature I have been waiting for.  
(Version 4.0)

E_COMMERCE  Nice update. A few notes:

- Temperature readouts are a bit buggy; when I disable certain sensors, either it doesn't respect that setting, or I get duplicates (for example, I disabled all heatsinks yet one shows up, and I have three readouts for "enclosure bottom")

- New skin is okay - why did the old one "have to be removed"? While the new skin works well on a Dashboard widget, it will look like crap on the desktop via "debug mode" or the iStat application

- Speaking of the iStat application - where are updates to it? It's been over six months while MAJOR enhancements have been made to the widget (intel fan support, much better memory statistics and reporting, etc).

The lack of an application version really bugs me, as graphs of CPU and memory usage don't do much good if they can only record while the dashboard is active.  
(Version 4.0)

SUMMERO  nice widget! too bad it says no sensors found for the temperature :(  
(Version 3.4)

NEUTRALZONE  Highly functional and useful.

It's just too bad that the UI has a choice of several garish, semi-unreadable color schemes. I run my Mac with the Appearance set to Graphite, to gray everything back when editing photos, iStat won't respect the gray and insists on its colors.

I hope future versions provide more customizable color schemes, or at the very least, a readable Graphite theme.  
(Version 3.3)

E_COMMERCE  Great program; looking forward to the application version!  
(Version 3.3)

MZEB  Love the widget. I use it for everything except for one small but on my MacBook. For some reason the temperature monitor won't pick up the sensor in my core duo. A couple othe programs do so I know it's there. If I could get that working this would be the perfect widget for me.  
(Version 3.1)

OCHYMING  Works fine.

iMac core duo 512 MB  
(Version 3.1)

BRENNANMEISTER  There appear to be a number of failures with this last version. Firstly it fails to display the external IP address and, additionally, when flipped to reverse it becomes skeletal. Access to the developer's site (in

order to attempt to download again) fails.  
(Version 3.01)

LEE MAJORS  Really like the new features and interface. It's a really high quality piece of software. WARNING, this widget makes you want to lick it. Yum.   
(Version 3.01)

XARIK  Awesome widget. Love the new design. I've been using iStat nano for a while, but now I think I'm going to switch to the pro version since I have the screen space to spare. ;) It's amazing that all this is for free. Thanks for all the hard work!

It works great except for one bug that I noticed. When I go into the options and adjust display settings, it sometimes messees up the bar/graph features. For example, when I switched the CPU display from "advanced" to "simple," I got what I expected: no activity on the bar or graph. But when I changed it back to advanced, the bar/graph still showed no activity as if I were still in simple mode. Am I missing something? Hope this makes some sense. It's sort of hard to explain. Other than that, an awesome widget. Keep it up!  
(Version 3.01)

THECHEF  I am running 10.4.7 on a MackBook Pro 2.16, and I can't get iStat pro to tell me the speed of my fans. It acts as though there are no fans. If I can't find the fan speed with iStat pro, is there another widget or program that will tell me?  
(Version 3.0)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I keep reverting to the old v1 SysStat. I leave processes and network visible. v3 is now almost ready to replace v1 for me. Network mode needs to list EXTERNAL IP. It doesn't you know, not even in advanced mode.  
(Version 3.0b1)

LEE MAJORS  This seems a bit to beta for me, hangs on the loading screen then sucks up all of my remaining CPU power.

Unusual, cause iSlayer is awesome, and all other versions have 'scrolled like butter'.  
(Version 3.0b1)

PLUTO198  Every time I try to open 3.0b1... it shows the loading image for awhile then the Finder says it "unexpectedly quit."

Deleted all iStat pro/nano plist files, problem still persists.  
(Version 3.0b1)

MARC EDWARDS  JCRAIG :: To view temps on your MacBook Pro, please install the speedit kernal extension (not developed by iSlayer).

GOK :: Noted and changed :) Thanks. We'll fix it in nano with the next update if we can.

BRENDANM :: All in there. We even have processes now.  
(Version 3.0b1)

JCRAIG  Temps and Fans have never worked in this widget on my MBP 2.0GHz. Otherwise, a cool little thingy.  
(Version 2.3)

ORION MK. V  Perfect widget for its purpose. Customizable, attractive, etc. Thanks.  
(Version 2.2)

BRENDAN MCKINLEY  Best widget of its type I've seen, just two feature requests for iStat pro that are present in iStat nano.

First have the ability to display processor activity separately, rather then averaging the stats/graph together in multiprocessor systems.

Secondly have the option to display the temperature settings in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Thanks for the Widget guys, keep up the great work!  
(Version 2.1)

GOK  Very cool widget. One quick request...I think the correct way to display Kelvin temperatures is just with the symbol K, not with any º symbol.  
(Version 1.4)

GMAX  This version is (way) slower than SysStat nano 1.3...  
(Version 1.4)

RAYZ  The temperature monitor does not seem to update itself. It's only when I launch the TempMonitor widget do I see that the SysStat temps get "jumpstarted" to reflect the current temperatures.

I'm using a Powerbook G4 1.67Ghz (hi-res) model.   
(Version 1.3)

J0SH0  Please make this into some Menu Bar item for Panther users. It's exactly what I'm looking for, none of Yahoo's Widgets come close to touching this and I'm not that big of a fan of MenuMeters.  
(Version 1.2)

STEVEN JAY COHEN  I agree. It is beautifully done. But, I can't upgrade from the old one unless it is going to list top processes again.

I can't tell you how many times I used that feature to diagnose memory leaks in applications.

So, I'm stuck on the old version of this widget until that feature shows up in the new one :(  
(Version 1.1)

AGENTSMITHONE  Written in Cocoa and Javascript this widget is very responsive and pretty. I have been using the SysStat widgets from iSlayer since I dumped that other widget that looks like a gauge cluster because it cost too much. SysStat is beautiful and continues to blow my mind with its thoughtfulness version after version.  
(Version 1.1)

APFHEX  Useful, free, and good looking. Could probably use an update frequency option, but not necessary.
