InfoBar is an application that gives you access to a large variety of information in a small space. The software is a toolbar that sits at the top or bottom of your screen, taking up the whole width of your screen, but is very small in height.

Many different modules are available, from categories such as your PC\'s statistics (such as processor, memory and hard disk usage) or your local weather conditions.

InfoBar is packed with tons of options, making it easy to customize the look and feel of the application. The latest technologies are supported, such as Aero Glass in Windows Vista and above, as well as a powerful skinning engine. All UI widgets are skinnable, and the toolbar and tooltips support per-pixel alpha blending and on Windows Vista, colored glass and blur.

InfoBar requires the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 to be installed.
The version you will most likely want to use is the latest stable release version. If you aren't afraid of InfoBar crashing, or want to play with the latest features, there may be a nightly version available.
