[QUOTE="greyhound, post: 1484773, member: 289190"] [b]Great solution for monitoring Magic Mouse battery[/b] Thanks to themitch, that's exactly what I was looking for. This battery-level business has been a rock in my shoe for a couple of years. The Mac OS low-battery popup is too ephemeral; the blinking indicator in the BT icon is too small and easy to ignore; seeing the levels in the BT menu requires thinking about it and making mouse gestures; widgets like iStat Pro and Mighty Monitor require thinking about it and bringing up the Dashboard. BtBatStat does just what I want -- putting something small but noticeable on the screen all the time, so I can tell the battery status at a glance. A donation and suggestions will shortly be on the way to the author of BtBatStat! Now the remaining problem is that the percent numbers produced by all these little monitor apps are all different! I'm going to have to calibrate BtBatStat wrt the Mac OS measure. But maybe that's a topic for a different thread. [/QUOTE]
