Widget Watch: iStat Pro 4, iStat nano 2
With the release of what almost looks like an all-new version of iStat pro v4, however, iSlayer has brought a consistent, uniform UI to both widgets. While I agree that you should probably sit down and take a deep breath before reading through the extensive list of changes, the big-hitters include: support for the battery meters in bluetooth keyboards and mice, instant update for things like network changes and disk mounting, a choice between memory and CPU usage in the process panel, as well as drag and drop re-ordering of sections inside the widget, allowing you to customize the layout to your heart's content.
That isn't all though - go check out the huge list of changes for either of these widgets and consider showing iSlayer some donation love for all the stellar work they've done on two of the inarguable kings of system monitoring widgets for Mac OS X.

Yeah, honestly, I prefer the older versions; they look better and they take up less RAM.

Isn't the expression: "Not a moment too soon"?

#1: No, I just snagged the screenshot from iSlayer's site. For the record, however, I *do* have all those icons in my Pixadex library. :)
#2: The IconFactory.com hosts a ton of free icons and stuff like this, and that's where you can grab 3 or 4 sets of Futurama icons.

#4: iSlayer said these widgets are supposed to take up less RAM than the originals; perhaps Dashboard or Mac OS X just needs a restart to see the difference.
