Do you miss some of the information you used to see in WHS V1? Well Jerry Wade has written an app that brings that information to WHS 2011 and it’s just been updated to version 2.02.
This is how Jerry describes this app:
It wasn’t long ago I told my friend, John, about my wonderful WHSv1. He decided to create his own box and use WHS 2011. However, he noticed that the icon did not give him the same information as mine such as, connectivity and backup in progress (eg: blue icon). After pondering over this, I decided to put my limited programming skills to work and develop a home server status application. So, without further hesitation, world, humbly meet: Home Server Status v1.0.
REQUIREMENTS:
- .NET Framework 4
- WHS 2011 Connector
- Windows 7 32/64-bit machine. (Why only Windows 7? Well, it offered the features I wanted to see such as, the overlay icons and taskbar pinning.)
Change log:
FIXED: Cosmetic problems with higher than 96 DPI settings.
ADDED: Ability to input switches for file paths on additional menu items (Small addition but I was asked for it)
