I've tried 'em all and this is the only one that has been so unobtrusive that I haven't ditched it. Also, three cheers for Caffeine, InsomniaX (for those times when you need to shut the lid on your Mac but don't want the music to go!). I actually use smcFan Control in addition to iStat menus; the smc tile puts the temp on top of the fan speed, halving the real estate of the two iStats. In that vein, I also love SlimBatteryMonitor, which is pretty self-explanatory.. Second nod for Meteo.

Why would you *want* that? There has to be a better panel applet (or whatever Mac people call them) for weather than that. I thought WeatherBug came with adware. Why would you *want* that?
