As always, we really appriciate the help everyone gives us when testing new widgets. This is one of the biggest updates we've ever had, so we're calling on the MT masses to offer some feedback (and get to be the first to run iStat pro 4!).

The list of new features is massive (and we don't have it all ready yet), but here's a quick rundown on the more important ones:

New interface
It's now cleaner and much smaller than it was previously, while still maintaining the font size.


Bluetooth keyboard and mouse support


Drag and drop section reordering


Redesigned back


User manual
A fairly detailed overview of what's in iStat pro 4 and how to use it.

Keyboard shortcuts... lots of keyboard shortcuts
Listed below are all the keyboard shortcuts for iStat pro. Please note that the widget needs to be in focus before these will work (ie. you need to click on the widget once, or it needs to be the last widget you clicked last time you used Dashboard).

c - Show or hide the CPU section
m - Show or hide the memory section
d - Show or hide the disks section
n - Show or hide the network section
p - Show or hide the processes section
u - Show or hide the uptime section
b - Show or hide the battery section
f - Show or hide the fans section
t - Show or hide the temps section
s - Swap between tall and wide skins
i - Copy external IP to the clipboard

Edit: It's released (link changed).

Looks good - I'm impressed as usual. Was slightly confused about the battery % on my iMac, until I realised it was for the wireless keyboard (nice touch btw, I just added a widget the other day that told me this).

very good all woking on ibook 466Mhz perfectly!

Just installed... seems to be working well for me so far.

One request though... the temperatures list is all over the place, and I would love it if similar things were grouped together or if I were able to drag and drop individual temperatures so I could organise them myself. Is this possible?

Ill try and get some better sorting happening
We have grouping (cpu temps are given highest priority and are always first etc) already but not sorting

Great work guys I love the new look. If at all possible can we have fire back under the colours list.

Thank-you for all the effort put into this widget.

Is the drag and drop working ok for everyone?

Seems to be working fine for me... does take a little bit to get used to positioning the cursor correctly though.

Yep, works fine for me here. Great work guys! Thanks

Another great job. It's working fine. Thanks guys.

sweet job

Things aren't drawn the way they used to be (headers are done dynamically now, not with images), so we can't do the gradients in the text etc. The bars we can probably do. If it's just a fire header and red bars you're after then I can make up some images for you Doing the full fire skin probably won't happen for the release version though.

I wouldn't exert too much effort for the gradients, as I am just whining. It was my favourite skin, but I am now learning to live with single colours. Some colour in the bars would be nice as they seem to get a little bit lost.

Thanks for the info so far. We're planning to release tonight, any comments/bugs/etc would help!

Whooo! Love it!
