Other than WisBar, what software will place a battery and/or memory meter next to the clock in the upper right corner? :wink:

Thanks..

WisBar's the only one I can think of. I think it works great though. Was there something you didn't like about it?

WisBar's battery meter seems to have problems with an iPAQ 3835 with ROM 1.20, at least in my case. I have reason to believe that it's the cause of the "power-off-after-soft-reset" bug.

Since I've discovered this, I've been using the Birdsoft Battery Meter. It's small and it's free. Take note, though, that it displays the status at the bottom-right corner of the screen.

As for WisBar, one issue I have with it is that it doesn't show the PPC2002 notification icons. I'm using vBar instead as my task manager. :)

If you have current version of Wisbar and enable it it actually does show notifications, connected status, etc

Including the icons for ActiveSync, IR and the others? Last time I checked, only the "Reminder" and "Connected" icons are supported.

I never get the AS icon without wisbar, and the new message notifaction for emails has only ever shown once (again, without wisbar). Is there somewhere I go in settings to enable this??
