A Request for Features on the Menu Bar. OSx.
Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2012 2:11 am
Hi guys, I've been using Viscosity on my Mac for a couple of years now and would like to thank you for such a great piece of software. Thanks.
I have a few requests for various features that could be displayed on the Mac Menubar.
1. I have tried to find a bit of third party software to display the session's 'connection time' on my Mac's menu bar but with no real luck. The connection time is displayed in the Viscosity 'Details' pane but I'd rather not have the pane up all the time so is there any chance of putting a toggle option in the preferences somewhere so that this feature could be displayed hh:mm:ss next to the Viscosity icon on the top menu bar? Personally I'd find this feature really useful. Hope you don't mind the suggestion.
2. It would also be really useful to be able to display the 'Client IP' on the menubar. I've found a couple of apps that do this but not with customisable options. An option to display the 'Server IP' and even the IP of the Primary ISP connection could also be of use. If each of these could be toggled on/off then the user could set it to his/her preferred state.
3. Colour and size customisation of IP info on Menubar. The MenuMeters app has an interesting Network menu which puts incoming and outgoing KB/s data one above the other in customisable colours in the menubar. If adopted as the format for IP displays this would obviously reduce the space required for the data.
