SlimBatteryMonitor ReviewGreat small battery status monitor. - Version: 1.4, 5/5/2009 02:57PM PST

I used this application on PowerBook G4 12-inch which has limited screen real estate and now I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro but still use SlimBattery meter since nowadays applications have grown their menubar presence so this applications helps. SlimBattery Monitor has many customization features like shape of the meter, warnings and what displays with battery monitor. The Apple Battery Status is good but takes too much space in the menubar and limited customization.

I love this utility. I've been using it for quite a while, but I can't get it to work with OS X 10.4.8. Am I doing something wrong?

SlimBatteryMonitor CommentaryJust two little critics - Version: 1.4, 10/20/2006 01:52AM PST

First of all: great little app. I replaced my Macbook battery indicator with it. Just two little suggestions:
1) I wish I could drag the menubar item around when pressing "control"
2) I had previously been looking for a menubar item which would display both the time and percentage. Maybe in a very small font, on top of each others. That might be a nice enhancement.

SlimBatteryMonitor ReviewGreat little app - Version: 1.4, 8/20/2006 11:15AM PST

My previous problems were caused by a corrupt system. This works great and the memory used is much less than the last version.

Good job!

SlimBatteryMonitor ReviewExcellent Menubar Addition! - Version: 1.4, 8/19/2006 09:06AM PST

This application is excellent! It cuts the menubar space by half and is very customizeable; I easily changed the color of the icon outline from black to blue. I would suggest moving the application from the desktop into the Applications folder before installing. "Calculating remaining time" does NOT work as it did NOT with Apple's battery monitor, since I am using Mac OS X 10.4.7; otherwise this app works great! Thanks.

SlimBatteryMonitor Usage TipDoesn't display time remaining on Pismo Powerbooks - Version: 1.4, 8/18/2006 03:02PM PST

OS 10.4 doesn't calculate the battery time remaining on Pismo Powerbooks, so it isn't surprising that this program won't either. Other than that, it's a nice little program!

This is a great app. Highly configurable so you can tweak it just the way you like it. Another "why didn't Apple do this?" application.

I have used the same product on both my old PPC TI-Book and My new MacBook Pro, with no problems. I enjoy the small compact format.

SlimBatteryMonitor CommentaryConsole Entries - Version: 1.3, 11/14/2005 10:13PM PST

Has anyone noticed that SBM writes several entries to the console log about every minute under OS X 10.4.3? My logs were growing by leaps and bounds compared to normal use. Never had this under earlier OS versions, so I suspect Apple changed something. Had to disable this and use Apple's version. Yuck!
