If most of your work revolves around your computer, you probably understand how tweaking various of your system's components can be highly beneficial for you, especially if you don't have much time to perform certain operations manually, such as checking your CPU usage or disk space percentage.
Fortunately, if you're in the situation described above, you can rely on third-party software solutions such as Disk Monitor Gadget to lift the burden of your shoulders, if only a small part of it.

Monitor disk space usage

As its name clearly suggests from the top, this application is some kind of widget that can help you view disk space statistics on your system in real-time, without heading to the dedicated section on your system and do the checks manually.
The main screen, which is the widget itself, is divided into as many parts as the number of partitions on your system and a progress bar along with its corresponding percentage value is displayed next to each division.

Customize the widget

Disk Monitor Gadget gives you the possibility of customizing some parameters, thus changing the way the widget is displayed on your screen. In order to do so, just right-click the app's tray icon and select the "Settings" option in the context menu.
Here it is possible to edit the display font and the background color of the widget by making use of the app's designated functions and even change the transparency level by dragging the slider until you're satisfied with the results.

Handy disk usage monitor with customizable interface

All in all, Disk Monitor Gadget is a handy, lightweight application that can help you view the free space on your disks in real-time, without having to navigate to where you normally find them and perform the check manually. It can run silently in your system tray and allows you to customize some of its parameters.
