And a "light mode" version too... What say you guys about the desktop version of the disk meter? Yay, nay, meh?

Wow - That's quite fantastic

Thanks for sharing your development stages Jorge.

I think it needs to be there. Taking nothing away from the Nexus module, anyone can already create a Workshelf Drive TAB if they do not want either.

The popup information is good on mouse-over. It dos not really matter in the scheme of things whether it is there or not, but if you have all of the information available with a simple mouse-over, then that's a good thing with a desktop module. You'd only need Used, available, temperature and total size if you are only choosing four.

If you are still suggesting that you do not want to feel you are competing with AIDA64, then perhaps a desktop module is unnecessary? Is that what you might be thinking? Not everyone has it Jorge.

And last but not least the vertical versions (black & white) of the desktop module:

And the final version of the Disk Meter settings dialog.

You might notice that the Hue slider disappeared. That's because the module is actually colorized the same way all the others are, via the Modules tab in Preferences.

Likewise, the "Rows" setting was also removed. Too much work for very little reward, so I cut it.
