DriveGauge Publisher Description

DriveGauge is a simple yet powerful, highly customizable utility designed to give you visual feedback on how full your hard drives are directly on each drive's icon. The Drive List lists all your volumes, including their name, location, current icon, and percent used. Highlighting a volume shows a live preview without altering the actual icon and you can choose which drives to add gauges to or which icons to restore or delete. DriveGauge also allows you to choose one of six default icons (Backup, Hard Drive, FireWire, iPod, iDisk, Custom) to use or you can use the current icon.

DriveGauge fully supports custom icons and backs these up and will also back up the chosen icon if a custom one isn't present just in case. Simply choose which drives you want to restore and the gauges will be gone. You can also use the delete functionality to permanently remove all traces of DriveGauge from a drive. DriveGauge also supports relaunching the Finder to see the applied gauges. Automatic updating is included alongside styles and other useful features including a news pane to get the latest DG news. Growl notifications allow your computer to inform you when it's running out of space without having to do anything more than clicking a checkbox.

We think DriveGauge is a useful little utility and are proud to be able to share it for free with the world. Feel free to download it and give it a try. It never hurts to be able to know a little more about your computer's health.
