   iStat Menus 6.0

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Bjango Software has released version 6.0 of [1]iStat Menus, a major
   upgrade for the menubar-based system monitoring utility that adds
   customizable notifications, hotkey support, and a new weather widget.
   You'll be able to configure alert banners that appear in Notification
   Center (such as a daily weather forecast or when memory usage tops a
   specified amount), and the customizable Notification Center widget
   enables you to get a quick glance at CPU, Memory, Network, Disk, and
   Processes data.

   In addition to a refined graphical user interface with more colors and
   theme options, iStat Menus 6.0 also enables you to set keyboard
   shortcuts for each menu dropdown, adds improved history graphs with
   tooltips for timestamps and values, enables you to reorder dropdown
   menus and hide sections, provides support for AirPods battery level
   display, enables you to add multiple world clocks to the menubar, and
   adds new localizations (for [2]36 languages in total).

   The Weather menubar dropdown menu is powered by [3]Dark Sky and
   [4]Weather Underground, and it includes current temperature, hourly
   forecast, weekly overview, and more. However, the Weather feature
   requires an additional subscription. Purchase of iStat Menus 6 provides
   six months of free weather data that's refreshed every 60 minutes.
   After six months, you can purchase a data pack that lasts for 12 months
   for $1.99 (60-minute updates), $3.99 (30-minute updates), or $5.99
   (15-minute updates). For more details on the weather feature, see this
   [5]Bjango support page.
