       | the UI, the screenshots on the app store in firefox are tiny.

         | I was too wondering why the screenshots are so low res... is it
         | because I have some apple domains blocked like ocsp?

       | Does this have a menubar widget? I miss MenuMeters, after it was
       | killed by an OS update a while back. Would love to try it out,
       | regardless!

           | Wow, didn't know there was a new version -- thanks! I

           | was reminded how much I liked MenuMeters.

         | I used the MenuMeters forks up until a few months ago when I
         | purchased iStatMenus. Love it and well worth the money,
         | especially since I can used the unified view (so my widgets
         | don't get moved around arbitrarily by menu bar reorganization).

         | Give it a try, we think its a lot nicer than the tiny menu bar
         | stats most apps provide -- they just don't display the right
         | amount of information.
         | 
         | You can quickly collapse it away when you want it out of the
         | way by clicking on the left mode "PLUTO" label.

           | Thanks! I mostly want to see CPU and wifi activity, so a
           | menubar widget covers most of my bases. I also don't have a
           | big multi-screen setup, so I have a stronger preference for
           | menubar widgets than some people.

             | You can display only your CPU & Wi-Fi in Pluto. It becomes
             | quite compact then. The CPU view can be compacted further,
             | too.

       | like temperatures and powers

         | Temperature and power stats are not allowed to be read in App
         | Store apps, but if we get enough requests we plan to write a
         | little helper app that you can download separately to supply
         | that info to Pluto.
