| The info bar can only be mounted in the top or bottom of MushClient I believe. From what I understand, this is a limitation of code that Nick doesn't have any direct access to changing, only using what he's given.

| I think the 3 places you would change in the plugin are (in bold here) ...
pc = CInt ((CInt (iCurrent) / CInt (iMax)) * 50)
'
' Below 20% warn by using different colour
'
if pc < 10 then
InfoColour sBadColour
else
InfoColour sGoodColour
end if
'
' Draw active part of gauge
'
for count = 0 to pc
Info "g"
next
'
' Draw rest of gauge in grey (ie. unfilled bit)
'
InfoColour "dimgray"
while count <= 50
count = count + 1
Info "g"
wend

| If you nose a round you may find a script called HSLtoRGB. This can be used to make something more visually accurate by letting you recalc the color, brightness and purity (amount of grey) in the color you use to show your current health on the bar. However, I made one attempt to create a font that was only one pixel wide to use for producing such a bar with far better accuracy. Either the code for the bar won't support .FON fonts, or I messed something up in the font. Unfortunately I don't know of any super-thin .TTF fonts, which is what you would need to use in place of the existing one to make it more accurate. In theory, 0-100 could be any multiple of 100 dots, so a computer using 640x480 could show close to a 0-600 range, 'if' you could find a font thin enough to only display one pixel wide and not have any spaces around it.
The reason you can't manage this is that most fonts are 10x8 or 12x10, etc. So with 10 positions you are looking at 100-120 lines. With 50 it is 500-600 lines or the entire bar on a 640x480 display. For something like 1024x768 you can do much better, but only by having the client maximized, which I think looks silly, since half your output window is unused. So yes, you could change it in the DoGauge script itself to use 50 steps, but the result isn't very useful unless you can also shrink the width of the lines. But since changing the width also makes them shorter, you would have, say with an 8x6 font, a line that was 6 dots all and 400 long. It would take up nearly the entire infobar and end up being hard to see besides. :( | | Top |

| Remove the line where it switches to WebDings font, and change:
Info "g"
to
Info "|"
in 2 places. |

| That was why I chose the Webdings font - that font is designed to be used as graphics, and the letters run into each other. If you choose a normal font, then it is designed to keep letters apart so you can read them.
All I can suggest is experiment with different fonts, like Webdings or Symbol (or similar) until you find a suitable character that draws a short line. |
