All settings are save in the local user profile (My.Settings).

##Requirements

* .NET Framework 4

##How to use

* Run the program. A bar will appear on the right side of the screen (primary monitor).

* The general update interval is the interval at which all the graphs and information update at (in seconds)

* The VU Meter update interval is the interval at which the left and right volume bars update themselves (in milliseconds)

* The Net Adapter dropdown controls which network adapter's upload and download speeds will be monitored.

* Be sure to choose the right one for wireless or ethernet. If the selected adapter does not exist anymore, the application will reset this setting on start

* The Position dropdown lets you choose where the bar is positioned (primary monitor)

* The Foreground and Background is that of the bar itself. * The Foreground changes the color of all text labels.

* The Opacity setting toggles between "Solid" and "Transparent". When solid, the selected background color is PowerBar's background. When transparent, the PowerBar background is see-through and click-through. You can still access the context menus by right-clicking on controls or text.
