The SysBar/2 Utility Set is back after a year of silence!

This new release (considered to be a maintenance release) contains
various bug fixes, including the MS Exchange Server compatibility and
a number of new features such as dynamic cell colorization schemes
and more application support for the Pipe Monitor!

Now you can paint your system information cells using any colors you
like! Moreover, these cells are now able to change their color
dynamically as their contents reach certain values. For example, you
can paint your swap file red when it grows too big. Or make the mail
peeker appear dark grey when there's no mail, but shine as gold when
the mail arrives.

Three more applications are supported now by the Pipe Monitor. You
can watch your AICQ client status, SETI@HOME completion percentage
and monitor your motherboard and CPU temperature, voltage and other
important parameters with 19 pipes supplied by the ThermoProtect
environment monitor.

There's also a "lazy shrink" feature which prevents frequently
updated monitor cells to grow bigger and smaller too often, and a
pop-up track list menu for easy track access in CD Player.

This new version is currently available at Hobbes and at the SysBar/2
support site:

SysBar/2 Utility Set is a high quality OS/2 product which has been
developed and supported for over 4 years. The main idea of the
project was to design a product which will save your so valuable
Desktop space and system resources bringing as much functionality and
flexibility as possible. The average size of a SysBar/2 component
doesn't exceed 30 or 40 Kb. Everything is highly configurable and
easily fits in any corner of your screen.

It only takes seconds to fall in love with SysBar/2 components and
you'll wonder how could you live without them.

Components are:

- the Clock, does nothing other than displaying the curent time and
    date (what else could be expected?);

- the CD Player, which plays your audio CDs even if you don't have
    multimedia support installed. There are only basic controls, four
    time display modes and no bells and whistles;

- the Task Switcher, a brilliant tiny task switcher which allows you
    to manage all your applications with just a mouse click;

- the Pipe Monitor, a system information utility and named pipe
    listener. It displays tons of dynamically updated system
    information and also allows you to add your own data sources
    using named pipes which makes it highly expandable and useful
    for the needs of your own applications, remote monitoring and so
    on.

The last thing which makes the product unbeatable is the price. All
the above comes ABSOLUTELY FREE! Support is available via email:
sysbar@lab321.ru.
