phil, my dear, I give up on the meters, grouping stops the individual meters working, and even if I don't group them, nobody but me can see it actually works.. could someone point me in the direction of a simple script, that will just show the Drive space, memory, and CPU in a TEXT STATE ONLY thanks again phil, I know you got my widget working for you, but you and I were the only ones that could see it work
Edit.. You know the irony of graphical meters, the CPU meter shows me it's the meters that are eating my CPU
