Tiny Bar

Post by **limbo** » April 1st, 2006, 11:09 am

This plugin will display a tiny bar, one character placeholder only is needed, in your screen.

You can use it to have the level cpu usage or your system volume (along with volume.dll) in one tiny vertical bar.

Six different bar styles supported.

Go to [url]http://www.eserver.grurl] to get it

THis plugin works really nicely. Perfect for vertical volume bars etc where you want to use only one charactor space for your bar.

Hi Limbo!!

Great plugin...

When you use with the volume plugin, when I set the system volume to 0, we have an exception...

It works a charm, thanks!
FYI, now that it uses a specified customchar, you can have multiple plugins running symaltaniously.
eg, i've got a 7 bar mini winamp graphic equaliser, so that uses up customchars 1-7, and tiny bar using custonchar number 8. Rock on!

EDIT: Style 7 looks like this:

I seem to get inconsistent output if I have two of these on the same screen, doesn't matter if they are the same bar or not.

IE I have a free ram bar and a CPU bar.. The CPU par moves are great deal but the ram bar should stay mostly unchanged. However it seems that s the CPU bar updates the RAM bar jumps up and down a little and often displays the wrong value, IE it is too short or too long.

I am using a HD44780 20x2 VFD

Edit: Never mind.. After re reading the read me I figured out that I had them assigned to the same character.

Yeah giving different character set in each instance you can keep up to 8 tiny bars in the same screen

I think we need something like a ZERO default state in case no reading can be done or something like that, because a lot of irrelevant text is quite annoying when the volume is mutted
