Unfortunately autohide does not work for me.
It does hide, but does not come up again when I hover the mouse over it.
(OS is Windows XP) I would really like to use Infobar as a replacement for Winbar, but autohide is essential on a netbook
thanks in advance, jekyll

  I'll give it a try in an XP install. Do you have any customized windows
  settings? (Large fonts, hacked UxTheme with custom visual style, thin
  window borders, etc...)

I implemented this: "Allow the volume level to be changed by clicking anywhere along the track and having the slider automatically jump to the clicked location."

I also tweaked the auto-hide code for XP. Tested in a VM and it worked fine for me. Let me know how it works.

i have lots of customized windows settings... but the new version works like a charm!
thanks for the quick fix

[edit] one more thing: can you add a configurable delay for the bar to show? so it doesn't pop up every time I move the mouse to the top for a split-second

Couldn't put a program in Quick Lunch with command line parameters!
Like "c:\program files\skype\phone\skype.exe" and option /secondary
Even more, if I setup .bat file to run "skype.exe /secondary" the program resolves somehow the path to the program and put the source program, not bat file.
This is wired ....

I would like to have Date and Time in the Bar. I'm still using the old Winbar Toolbar. Since it is no more development on this, I found this Toolbar similar to Winbar.

One of the most used Item is the Date/Time.

Maybe the developers could have a look on this: http://www.winbar.nl/

There is a new version, but development stopped years ago and that one is in a very beta status.

one icon is really good in this old app. (network traffic - very simple but good)
Memory usage graf..

Battery icon in info bar is better.

Mail checker is not working for me here, weather also not working.

Worst part of this software: it taks too much cpu load, in my case 35%, only for such a little tool.

I agree with Joachim. It would be great to try and reduce the CPU usage. I've tried to turn off several graphs, update times etc but it's had a minimal impact unfortunately.
Great little 'app' though - so hoping something can be done.

would be nice to have option to display milliwatts being consumed while on battery power for laptops. several apps are able to show this so i think the data is available to get.

also for network traffic there should be a way to autodetect and also refresh adapters. InfoBar of course starts with Windows and if you have mobile broadband some adapters may not be avail yet until the USB modem is plugged in etc.

also, graphs are a little too wide, would be good if user could select width in pixels maybe or resize/drag on the screen.

i previously used StatBar for many years but it doesnt seem to work on 64-bit. :(
InfoBar is better than WinBar afaict.
