Wifi Meter

Wifi Meter is a lightweight Yahoo! widget built specifically for helping you view the current signal strength of your Wi-Fi connection.
The program places a small coloured battery on your desktop that gives you details about your Wi-Fi signal strength and percentage display.
The widget sports a clean and straightforward layout that gives users the possibility to set up the dedicated parameters with just a few clicks.
Wifi Meter comes packed with several configuration settings of its own that allow users to select the font style of the text, pick the refresh rate, specify the battery size, as well as choose the colour of the battery.
Other options offered by the Yahoo! environment give you the possibility to prevent the windows from being dragged, set the opacity level, and ignore mouse events. You can also make the program stay on top of other applications, and this proves to pretty useful, especially when dealing with multiple tools at the same time.
During our testing we have noticed that the widget displays accurate results and no errors showed up throughout the entire process.
As it would be expected from such a small utility, it manages to remain light on the system resources, so it doesn’t burden the overall performance of the computer, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.
To sum things up, Wifi Meter offers a simple software solution when it comes to displaying the current signal strength of your Wi-Fi connection. It can be easily configured and installed by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
