Winbar

[Pwnage]

I tryed out winbar and thought it was pretty cool, i was just wondering if anyone else uses it and has figured out how to get Gmail to work with it.

I really have a strong aversion for system monitoring apps, especially since they consume the very resources you're monitoring. I'm a freak about this since I have a laptop with less RAM than I want to have.

I don't see why silverfire's post should deserve that kind of response. You said you were wondering if anyone else used it. silverfire gave his opinion. He responded to at least one part of your post, so why the sarcasm?

I wholeheartedly agree with silverfire on this (meaning I too am answering at least one part of your post -- I don't use this application).

Winbar \ Statbar are updated once per eon, so it kinda defeats the purpose.

Haven't used either in awhile, But if you can get gmail pop3 support, it should be no different from any other email.

Agree with the people above, but some system monitoring apps take up 1-2mb of ram and in the end help the system a bit more.

No worries, Im also a laptop user with low ram

let me rephrase, dose anyone who has used this program know how to get gmail to work with it.

And chaosblade what do you use rather that this. Maybee what you use is better.

I don't really understand why you would care to use such a program, anyway, but I'm really curious why you can't be content to use the official gmail notifier http://toolbar.google.com/gmail-helper/index?promo=gdl-en or a similar app like GTray http://torrez.us/archives/2004/05/23/000272.html? Or is it that you want something more than simply being informed when you have new mail?
