Description
The graphical desktop meter consists of two sections. The
upper
green/red 'period' meter, and the lower blue 'usage' progress bar.
The lower 'usage' progress bar shows the percent of
your
monthly plan allocation that you have used so far. The upper
green/red 'period' meter shows how far through the plan period (month)
you are. As time passes during the month, the boundary
between
the green and red moves from left to right. If you are using
your
downloads evenly over the month, the usage bar and the period meter
will keep pace with each other. If you are downloading
heavily,
the usage bar will overtake the period meter and be in the 'red'
area. If you are downloading lightly, the usage bar
will be
behind the period meter and be in the 'green' area. Full
detail
text information is available and exportable. Always on top option
available. Minimises to system tray. Many more
details
are in the application help file available after installation.
