Don’t forget to try custom themes!

Tips:
Customize the appearance of the panel using color picker dialogs. Also you can adjust transparency and size of the panel in Sliders section.
If you want the panel did not receive touch events, just select the “ICS hack” box. If you Android 4.0 user, you also may want to turn it on. Since in ICS the status bar is drawn on top of all. Even on top of Cool Tool:)
Tons of gauges could drain your battery very quickly. Uncheck the features that you do not need. Btw, Cool Tool went to sleep and do not draw anything when your display turns off. It is for powersave.
Warning! “Show most resource-intensive process” feature is pretty resource-intensive :) You should use it only if you really need it.
If you want to hide Cool Tool panel in specific app, just select that app in Black List tab.

ps: If you want to help me localize app into your native language, let me know.

Users questions:
Q: ICS Fix Needs a fix for ICS. I would like to drag and drop with ICS
A: There is no way to implement nice dragndrop on ICS. Try to use directional pad from the settings.

Q: Need option ‘always on top’ or implantation in statusbar
A: Android has some limitations. Only predefined PNG icons supported in statusbar. You can deny the panel to appear by select specific apps from Black List tab

Q: Another lousy piece of addware That you just can’t upgrade to addfree
A: Sorry, but uploading paid apps is not available from my country.

Q: Its not cool that it uses so much memory to display something,that a regular widget can in half the memory
