System Meters

Anyone know some good System Meters out there? I'm looking for one like Sysmeter that has CPU, Physical,Swap, NetIN and NetOUT, Time, and Uptime. I've found L-Ement to be a good one, nice skinnabliltiy just, the developer has faded from the internet and there is no help with skinning it Anywhere. Sysmeter by Thirty4 is good too, but I hate the AlwaysOnTop think that won't go away or turn off. Anyone know any others that are similar to these two that are good?

Well, various modules are available for LiteSTEP....maybe a bit extreme to change shells just for your uptime, whatever, but.....nuvva gewd reason ta doit....

I thought about that many a time.. I could just run Litestep inside of Windows and just do away with the warf and vwm and just have a module that does that floating out there somewhere, that may work, I will look into that, until then... anyone else know something I could do? BTW.. THX Jafo

There are numerous DesktopX objects that have what you're looking for. DX isn't a shell and in fact you could simply have that object up. DX also uses about the same same amount of RAM as sysmeter so it's a win win.

Hey Brad, thanks for idea. I actually just started really to play with DesktopX for the first time (been an OD member for 1.5 years). Pretty nice. Not much RAM usage. Actually using less than Beatnik usually does. Pretty impressed.

Thanks. Yea, what DesktopX really does is extend the Windows shell to support objects. It's really easy to create DesktopX objects for most of the common skinnable utilities. I've thought about asking to port some of the Beatnik and Coolplayer skins to be DesktopX objects.

Not only does SysMeter 2 have the always ontop bug, it won't display the date right. I was also surprised to see it pulled from Thirty4's website - http://www.thirty4.com/sysmeter/ is no longer there and the link has been removed from the main page. Another great app to add to the extinct list.

What I loved about it was that you could access the Performance Data Counters on Windows NT/2000. This gives you about a million and one things to monitor! For instance, I use it to view both textually and graphically how much my hard drive is working via the "% Disk Read Time" counter. You can also use it for Network monitoring, CPU, Mem - you name it. I need a DX Object like that that also allows me to format the results. For example, net traffic with the "Bytes Received/sec" counter is a really big number with a cable modem - I'd like to convert it to KB/s.
