Power Meter Plus is an improvement over the default Windows battery power tray icon, which one needs to hover over constantly to get a reading of the remaining power level. Power Meter Plus displays itself as a translucent meter on the screen. It gradually becomes more visible as the battery power level drops. The meter will reposition itself automatically on the bottom left or bottom right of the screen depending on the position of the mouse cursor, so it will never get in the way of what you are doing.

I love this program. It's nice, compact, accurate.
I do, however, have a couple of small problems.
I am using Windows 7 Home.
1). I can't set the colours to what I want.
2). When I use my high power battery and it is fully charged, the meter reports 0% power and shows the meter with a blank area at the bottom and top for about 5 minutes after booting.
If these problems can be sorted in the next version, I will definitely make a donation.
