Thank You!
Sometimes I go to download things and am not sure what drive to put it on.. but now I will know how much space is on what drive :p
I like that you can click it to open the drive.
I just wonder... is there anyway to set font size/color..
Also I will ask before others do.. will there be skins for this plug-in?
It is fine just the way it is.. just asking..
Look how pretty it is:

hello hello!
having a brainstorm about Drive Space plugin...
ppl ussing visual styles usually have taskbars with fades, if drive space could suport tasparacy like winamp control this would be great! I don't mean around the bars or pies, I mean inside... also an option to disable the highlight effect is a interesting idea or at least to have the same effect as other icons...
here is a first pic to help, I'll post others as I make them...
Ps:Great Program! The very best utility to boost productivity and it looks great too! Can't wait for the clock plugin...

here is a pic with ideas for the hover effect and is it possible fot the drive letters to be centered in hight with the row?
- Jolidog - 05-31-2002
in the above post the line arround drive c is also a hover effect... :p
for the pies, again the trasparecy and some strange ideias...
see pic...
I really don't know if any of this is possible... ???
it's just ideias

it would be great, if you could select icon library with icons, which would be used instead of graphs ...
icons would have to be named like 10, 20, 30 etc ... corresponding with percentage.
plugin would then choose that icon with the closest name to actual percentage of used space.
i think this feature would be great - users could create libraries with very nice 3d rendered and antialiased win xp icons for every 10 percents, or just flat style icons etc ...
what do you think?

also i'm using vertical taskbar and it's a bit hard to get all the text shown because this beta version chooses text size for horizonta taskbar.
i know, this is beta ... and it works well, but some additional code for vertical taskbars, those icons i mentioned before and more layout / font settings and it would be perfect!

but maybe not icons but the .png files. This is more convenient.

great yuri, you're the best!
with png files, you would select directory with them ... and what about zip file?
btw i've realized that your pie chart is antialiased ... how have you done that? is it win32 feature or your own?

Yes, like all TLB skins. I also plan to make support of single zip file
