Customization request

Am i in the right place?

Published on April 28, 2006 By The__Goo In OS Customization

I was just wondering if anyone has made, an object for OBJ Dock, or a Widget, or something to have a mouse meter. I see alot of meter for batteries regarding battery life for a laptop, but with the surge of wireless mice and keyboards, it sure would be nice to have a battery meter for those. Anyone else seen one, or maybe someone can make one. Just a thought.

If you have program inside Windows that can fetch this data, probably somebody can make a meter, but if it is not possible (the mouse don't send its battery state to the OS) It's impossible because we have no data

I use a logitech g7 gaming mouse and it does show on the system tray when the batteries are low. And you can also, through the setup, set the percentage of when you want to be notified that the batteries would need to be replaced. Also, some of my other Logitech devices, when you open up the setup through control panel as well as from system tray, there is a tab which lets you know if the battery life is good, low, needs to be recharged. I use the G7 as well as the MX1000 from logitech. I think my previous logitech devices did as well. Is that what your talking about?
