If you work on your laptop a lot, keeping an eye on battery status can become
a chore as you nervously glance at the corner of your screen to see how long
you might have left. BattCursor is a Windows Vista and 7 only application
that keeps you constantly aware of your battery's state. The most basic thing
it does is add an number indicator to your mouse cursor, and also changes its
color as your power drains. If it gets to red, you're in trouble. The options
in BattCursor are incredible. You don't have to get involved, but there is
almost nothing you can't change. All the colors can be modified, you can set
various power profiles to be activated as the battery diminishes, so you can
squeeze a little more time before plugging into a power source. BattCursor
cal also disable various resource hungry Vista features such as the Windows
sidebar and Aero Glass. There's not much wrong with BattCursor as a utility -
it really does keep you informed about you battery status, and its range of
power saving functions are impressive. The only criticism of it is that the
colored cursor with battery percentage looks a little ugly in Vista. For most
people this small visual concern won't spoil this otherwise excellent
application. *BattCursor is a great Vista and Windows 7 utility for laptop
