BattCursor shows the battery charge in percent directly under the mouse cursor, and offers many other battery-saving features, among others, dim down the display brightness for inactivity, automatically disable the Windows Sidebar and Aero Glass and much more.
And the best part: It costs nothing, worth seeing ;)
Battcursor uses the UpdateSystem.Net (german page) to check for new versions. This will access the host updates.devs-on.net. If you do not want to have Automatic Updates, you can disable this feature in the settings.
No private information from you will be sent, only the currently installed BattCursor version is sent and depending on user action the update will be downloaded. The only data that we collect for statistics reasons are: number of search for updates, number of updates and operating system version.

I found a problem with installation.
It seems the installer is looking for "BattCursor 1.2" but when I unzip the download, it creates a folder name of "BattCursor%201.2"
This is usually a web issue, as spaces are not allowed on web. Change the name of your zips to BattCursor_1.2 or BattCursor-1.2. Don't use spaces on the web.

@Sacke: I use Windows 7 x64, too. The installer and the application works on both x86 and x64 systems. Please try to download again with another browser.
There are known problems with Opera Browser. You should get a .zip file, not an .exe file!

Again...
Even the web installer complains about 64-bit.

Addendum: Windows 7 64bit. Computer HP HDX18

Complains about that my computer is a 64-bit. Won't install.

@Nic: Backlight dimming does work on Windows 7 :) Try to get updated chipset drivers for your laptop. Some OEM Software may also cause this problem.

Fantastic software, but 1 major problem with the new version. The backlight dimming function (which is critical to saving battery) does not function with Windows 7.
