Editors' note: This is a review of the full version of BatteryBar 3.3.3. Though it won't charge your batteries faster, it can save time by accurately indicating when they'll be done.
We opted for pop-up alerts over the audible alarm as a matter of choice, though we don't doubt many users will appreciate both reminders.īatteryBar is available in a free version with a reduced feature set, but the full BatteryBar Pro is available in several inexpensive licensing options, each way cheaper than a new battery. You can adjust the slider controls to configure Warnings via time or percent of charge remaining, a vast improvement over the typical laptop's battery charge status indicator. Here is where we found the program's display, alert, and battery profiles options, including numerous display "themes," an unexpected but appreciated touch. Clicking or hovering over it calls up a small dialog with details of any detected batteries right-clicking it calls up a menu with some resource settings and the Preferences menu, which activates a Settings dialog. BatteryBar's main "interface" is a tiny icon that graphically displays charge status. It's "smart," too, giving progressively more-accurate estimates of remaining battery or charge time: the more you use it, the better it does its job.Īfter installing the program, we opened BatteryBar by right-clicking the Toolbars menu on the system taskbar. It's an unobtrusive but capable utility that accurately displays the status of your laptop's battery while in use or during charging. TaskbarX is a tool for Windows that will help you to organize your desktop quickly and intuitively with a range of customization options and a taskbar that you can place anywhere on the screen.Are you tired of guessing when your laptop's battery will be done charging (and tired of second guessing its so-called battery meter)? Give BatteryBar a try.
however, if you don't want to use up any more of your PC's resources, you can also turn these movements off.Īn important feature to keep in mind is that TaskbarX has a series of built-in styles that you can use to customize the taskbar, such as changing the opaqueness, changing the background gradient or making it transparent. In fact, the program has different animations that you can use to give your icons and taskbar background a more pleasing look. In TaskbarX there are different options that let you easily move the taskbar around. By using a pretty intuitive method, it will barely take you any time at all to move the different programs to the center of the screen or the edge you want. TaskbarX is a tool that lets you move and place Windows taskbar icons wherever you like.
