Notebooks generally show the amount of battery time left in terms of percentage, but that makes it difficult to estimate the exact amount of time remaining, Battery Bar lets you displays your battery status in your taskbar.

When you’re running on battery, BatteryBar shows the percentage bar in green (> 40%), yellow (25-40%), or red (< 25%). The bar displays the time left on your battery in Hours:Minutes

When charging, the percentage bar is shown in blue to indicate charging, and the estimated time to full charge is shown. The bar turns black and shows "On A/C" when fully charged.

Recently a user asked me if there was a way to enable preview of PSD ( Adobe PhotoShop ) in Windows Vista. After a bit of googling I found Preview Handler.This tool lets the user preview the psd file without opening the Photoshop Application.

Preview handler is the latest methodology in Microsoft Windows Vista™, which provide a rich, interactive, and read-only preview of a file without having to launch the associated application. The in-place interactive previews of the file are available in the Explorer windows, common dialogs, and search results. The core feature is integrated into Windows Vista Shell which allows developers to extend this functionality by writing managed code add-ins i.e. preview handlers for custom files.

Features :

• A "readonly" preview of the file will be shown in the preview pane.
• Image "Dimension" and "number of layers" in the PSD file will be shown in the "tooltip".
• Resolution, Color Depth, & Compression information of the file will be available to the user.
