This Windows gadget displays:
- WiFi SSID and signal strength,
- Current network bandwidth in use (WiFi if connected or Ethernet if not),
- Current CPU speed (up to 8 cores, this can be increased in the future if requested) and load per core,
- Total, Free and Used RAM information,
- Disk space free and used including the ability to eject removeable media,
- Main/aux (battery) power status including estimating battery remaining (some laptops will only report the percentage),
- The total time since last reboot (NOTE: Windows 8 Developer Edition does not reset the uptime on shut down by default, this is not a bug).
- The gadget has a choice of three slightly different LCARS themes.

You will need to install the lcars font, you will be advised to download this if the gadget detects it is not installed.

If you are running Windows 7/8 I highly recommend you install the 7 Sidebar Gadget first. This gadget restores the Vista style sidebar which prevents windows overlapping your gadgets and also tells you useful things like if caps lock is on.

LCARS Logon ScreenDOWNLOAD

If you are running Windows 7 you can also add an LCARS background to the login screen.

Download the zip file above and extract it somewhere on your PC.
Run the exe file inside and click Change Logon Screen.
Browse to the Logon Screens directory and choose the file that is the closest to your screen resolution. If you do not know your screen resolution just try any of the files.
Click Test to see how your logon screen looks then enter your logon password to log back in.

If after testing it does not look right, click Change Logon Screen again and try a different file. Depending on your desktop resolution you may find none are perfect, unfortunately I cannot cater for all screen resolutions

The guide above uses the tweaks.com Logon Changer which is included in the download.
The logon screens are based on an old Linux LCARS logon screen and as such I take no credit for their design, I just moved them around a little to fit the login screen.
