MiniBatteryStatus for Mac2.6.10

Excellent utility. Having the color icon indicating charging status is perfect. And having Growl support is great too. I use this in conjunction with Slim Battery Monitor: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14083/slimbatterymonitor

For just battery info this works just fine, but for lots more in addition to battery info check out "iStat nano", a widget that includes a whole range of readouts for your 'book.

Why wouldn't you just look at the top right of your screen?

Good said.... Like I mention earlier, it's really a piece of art.

Great software. The developer is a great guy who listens to user requests and answers very promptly. The app itself works well and (IMO) has the nicest graphics of all the battery widgets out there. And about the 5€: you can find those in the subway if you're lucky. I gladly paid them for the excellent and friendly support I received.

Stop being b#tchs. I payed my fiver for it as its the best battery widget out there, and the fact that the developer listens to users and has included growl notification to me speaks highly of the guy. Better to be a player than a player hater, if you don't like it move along.

Whoever said to use Battorox is crazy... it is nothing like this widget. Would someone mind listing the widget(s) that this one is a carbon copy of?

Claudio Procida, You make a bad name for Mac developers when you copy an existing widget and then try to sell it for $5. I hope people don't get suckered into buying this before they realize there are a half-dozen FREE versions of this same thing out there already. MacUpdate - why, why, why is this listed on the right along with other top progams??

If you spend $5 on this, you're a fool. And Claudio, quit whining about, "Am I supposed to not get reimbursed for my work?" People who are trying to sell something need to think about their target audience, not just photocopy an Apple widget and then wonder why people won't suddenly feel the urge to pull fives out of their wallet and send them to you.

First of all, I never complain any body quote the effort. For sure I'll be appreciate if it is for free, but everybody has the right to sell what ever thing created. For this utility, I prefer the original battery status that place on top of the menu bar. Because I prefer to see the status at any moment rather than press a F12 key to check. I believe moving your focus point to right top corner is far faster than pressing F12. So I personally feel that this utility is useless to me.

Use the tool Battorox. Works perfect and is free.

If you download and replace this 1.1 version over the previous 1.0 version it works. Am I crazy? If you hit the information button there is a registration looking code already in the box, you can just hit done...Whether or not this has meaning I don't know. It works for me and hasn't promted me to make a purchase. So make what you will of that.

$5 is ridiculous and anyone who would think of paying it is seriously on the 'dim' side. This is out there for FREE with many variations. It's almost crazy that MacUpdate would post this widget... it's pure plagerism.

Uh yeah...Isn't this the same exact thing as the one posted here? http://www.dashboardwidgets.com/showcase/download.php?wid=198 Ony that one's free :-\

why in the world would anyone pay for this, when there are countless free alternatives for viewing your battery status?

there is a free battery status widget on here that looks just like this
