iStat Menus 5 per Mac
iStat Menus di Bjango è da sempre uno dei migliori sistemi di monitoraggio per Mac che rende accessibili i dati dettagliati attraverso una serie di icone nella barra dei menu
La versione 5 è stata rinnovata con un nuovo design, nuove icone e menu ed ha un aspetto grafico più pulito e fruibile per una completa integrazione con il prossimo OS X Yosemite. Le funzioni sono state implementate per alcune caratteristiche specifiche degli OS Mavericks e Yosemite come il monitoraggio delle applicazioni che utilizzano maggior quantità di energia, lo stato di compressione della memoria ed il supporto alla modalità “Dark”
iStat Menus 5 mostra anche l’attività del disco in lettura/scrittura per l’applicazione in uso, informazioni dettagliate sulla rete includendo indirizzo del router, DNS, subnet mask, indirizzo MAC, canale utilizzato, disturbo, velocità di trasmissione segnale ed un monitoraggio della scheda grafica
Il fuso orario è stato arricchito con dettagli relativi alle fasi diurne/notturne ed i menu sono disponibili in numerose lingue, italiano incluso
iStat Menus in versione aggiornata 5.01 è disponibile per OS X 10.8 e successivi, sia per l’aggiornamento di versioni precedenti che per l’installazione ex-novo in licenza singola o multipla per 5 Mac
