Re: SysTray Monitor - Battery percentage or memory usage on notification bar

Sup guys. Just going to trade some information here.
First of all, just about any battery life display widget will inadvertently drain battery life. That's a give. The percentage will probably be small, but if anyone has true statistics I'd appreciate it.

SysTray Monitor is nice, I used it for awhile and only had one problem with it. If you turn on the CPU taskbar widget you'll notice that it's constantly using 5%+/- of your CPU. This may just be CPU widget relevant but I'm not sure.

Last but not least, I use OS Monitor.
While it doesn't have a tray battery icon it does have a CPU, but if you're extra nerdy it has wayyy more information to display than SysTray.
It does the same 5% CPU bull though, so be weary.
