so, for those of you that like to watch the cpu load, hard drive space available, etc... what module do you use? All i know of is rainmeter, which seems kinda bulky on the memory usage. Suggestions please!

Thanks!

for myself, i use label.dll, you don't have any graphic, but you can know all the information you need... easy to use, and very flexible...
i love label.dll :)

hmmmm... so how do you grab the information... available hard drive space, for example

There's a variety of commands that will fetch the information you're looking for. They're all listed in the documentation for label.dll. Here's what I use in my label:
LabelText "C: [diskinuse('c:')] of [disktotal('c:')]\nG:
[diskinuse('g:')] of [disktotal('g:')]\nRAM: [meminuse] of [memtotal] \nCPU: [cpu]\nIP: [ip]"

The stuff in brackets is the data that's fetched. the \n is a line break

greeting, i'm currently using label.dll to display my uptime, cpu usage...the problem is, i placed my label with a magic pink bitmap as bgimage on my desktop and i set LabelTransparent & LabelTrueTransparency as true. but it'll still show the magic pink instead of transparent. any idea? thanks. :)

remove labeltruetransparency (!!!) and it should work... but if your label is ontop, you'll be surprized
