Tony I was checking out your blog and noticed a couple screen caps of your macbook and noticed the small cap of the upper right hand corner of your screen. Seems like you have a couple mods to monitor CPU usage and more. Fill me in on what you've got going on there... P.S made it a topic in case anyone else is interested  |

I'm running iStat menus to monitor my machine. 
From left to right: Caffeine -- disables power saving mods (dimmed screen, screensaver, sleep, etc). Great for watching videos without being interrupted. Temperature gauge -- displays CPU core, but there are 8 other sensors in the machine, available as a drop down. Network monitor -- in/out, totals for the runtime, peak usage. Memory usage gauge CPU usage gauge -- dual core, so there are two of them. Calendar/Time -- oddly enough also a part of the iStat suite. It gives me a quick access calendar, so this replaced the system clock. Spaces -- Which desktop I'm on. Network connection -- wireless. Sound Battery Current user -- with fast switching enabled. Spotlight -- search. |

I just bought a MacBook Pro and I'm really new to Mac OS X. The last Mac I used had Mac OS 7 lol. Can you please explain how you got the CPU meters? |

link -- http://islayer.com/index.php?op=item&id=28 Download, expand, run the installer. The config for what you want it to display will be at the bottom of your System Preferences. |
