Looking for a TOP battery meter!!

Just a plain bar along the top of my Touch. Wizebar had it and certain other programs..

I love the bar meter, but I do not like the programs that are needed to have it.

Is there anything simple out there like this?

THANKS!

Here is one that has the bar across the whole top.

Google pBar. It's a task manager, battery meter (top bar) and more.

i know pbar is a task mngr also but the top batt bar is easy to determine battery charge, green when good and red at approx 10% batt remaining and gray means charging. also goes all the way across in portrait and landscape the task mngr is an added plus but you can opt for it not to display anything in the corner if u so desire

i've always liked the vistahide battery guage. i find it pretty easy to tell as the bar moves from green to red. and if you need to know your percentage instead of just estimating with the bar, use whatever built in app you've got to give you the percent. the Mogul has a nice guage, but i don't like have to go to the menu for it. Vistahide starts when i start my mogul (at least it does if you put it in the Startup folder) and has always been a nice guage for me. YMMV

Well this vistahide battery bar is great!! I don't want ANYTHING ELSE but the line, and I also don't understand the problem, it displays just fine, I don't need any color chance, it goes in 5% increments. I like it !

yea i was going to suggest Ariel or Vistahide. Glad you found what you were looking for. Also metrix is a good program for a today screen plugin that shows battery, Storage, RAM, and a screen brightness scrollbar
