Nice work I love the smaller "nano" size!

the transitions, on my computer at least, take about 3 seconds, which seems way too long. very nice widget and design.

This widget says my DC Power Mac G5 is running at 800,000+ degrees. I'm not sure that's right...

This is an excellent widget. It's small, beautiful, has lots of information, and has the lowest CPU usage of any 'stats' or CPU usage widget I've seen. I currently have two on my dashboard, one on the 'All' pane and one on 'Processes.' I love that it is small enough and has low enough resource usage that one can use multiple instances to show just the mix of information one desires.
I've noticed two issues: the temperature display does not seem to update properly (though I have not checked other temperature monitoring programs - the problem may be with my system), and the battery meter says "Invalid system" on my 15" PowerBook (the 1440x960 revision).

ajwitte :: We'll be updating the temps and battery sections as quickly as possible to support all systems. Please give version 1.1 a shot, and if that doesn't fix the issue, then 1.2 might (coming out soon).

This is very nicely done. My only suggestion is to change the graph colors to make more sense, perhaps use the color scheme that Activity Monitor does.
E.g., in Memory I don't know why inactive is red and active is green, the reverse would make more sense to me. Also in Memory I think the item should be ordered down instead of across, so wired, active, inactive down the left and Used, Free, Swap down the right, since the six items group naturally in two sets of three. In CPU, I've always seen red used for kernel processes, and its usually shown "below" the user processes (in this case it would be to the left). In Disk, the text is reversed. Used should be first to match the graph and Used should be colored red (used bad, free good, good==green).

The white skin looks like an Xbox360.

Which item for memory should I be monitoring the most? I dont know the difference between wired, swap, active, inactive, and used. I want to know which one I should monitor the most so that I can get an idea of how much memory im using in my pro apps n stuff.
