Good News

This version of TrayMeter is Freeware.



--------------------
Welcome to TrayMeter
--------------------

I wrote TrayMeter for those people who want to know what's
going on inside their computers. It shows the current CPU
usage as a little chart inside the Windows Taskbar also known
as Tray or Taskbar Notification Area.



-------------------
System Requirements
-------------------

- Microsoft Windows95© or WindowsNT 4.0©



---------------
Version History
---------------

- Version 1.0
  -----------
  - First released version 

- Version 1.1
  -----------
  - Up to 10 icons can be used to display the CPU usage

  - Icons don't get split when another program starts up
    the same time as TrayMeter. (Usually when you put
    TrayMeter together with other programs in your StartUp
    folder)

- Version 1.2
  -----------
  - Added support for WindowsNT 4.0



--------------------
How to use TrayMeter
--------------------

See below for information about installing TrayMeter.

When you start TrayMeter first time you will notice a small
chart in the Tray. While running other programs you can see
some peaks that indicate higher CPU usage.

Click with the left mouse button on the chart to have
TrayMeter showing its property sheet. Right mouse button
opens a popup menu.

Right here you can determine the time between updates of the
chart. The default value is 0.5 seconds. The second trackbar
allows you adjust the number of icons. To change the defaults 
press "Set Default". The new value is immediately used and
will also be used when you start TrayMeter next time.
If you don't press "Set Default" the new setting is for
this session only.

To exit TrayMeter press "Exit", to hide the window press
"Hide".



--------------------
Installing TrayMeter
--------------------

Run setup.exe and follow the installation process.



----------------------
Uninstalling TrayMeter
----------------------

Choose "Uninstall TrayMeter" from the TrayMeter folder.



--------------
Known Problems
--------------

- Because the program uses regular icons to display the chart
  you can see small lines between them.

- TrayMeter looks strange when you have your taskbar in
  vertical position.
