Hey GK, thanks a lot for trying it out and most importantly giving suggestions! Yeah I know the icon is totally out of place. The one you suggested looks really cool. I can bundle it up as an update to the add-on. BTW can you help me to get the icon reduced to the appropriate dimensions without loosing the transparency or its quality? Because I'm not that of a graphics person, to be honest I don't even have Photoshop installed :)
Useful addon. But need one minor update. I noticed that the usage meter only updates value after I restart firefox(close and reopen) It should fetch data and update info when the "usage meter button" is clicked; not after a browser restart. Could you fix this? Thanks.
It will be more useful if there is an option to know the peak & off-peak usage separately. that is 8.00am to 12pm midnight and 12pm midnight to 8.00am. pls consider it for next update...
Like it a lot dude, saves having to load up the SLT Usage Page login, click and scroll all the way down. :)
ReplyDeleteWish the icon "style" looked a bit more like the firefox bookmark icon. Simple Black & White, seems kind of outta place on the toolbar.
An icon which signifies usage, like pie chart or bars or something like that. Just a thought...
Tried a google image search for "data usage icon" has a couple of ideas.
Kinda like this? Signifies Upload/Download.

Mmm that's new. Is it because you normally hibernate? Anyway thanks a lot for finding it :) I will investigate.
DeleteYes i almost always hibernate the system. Anyway that couldn't have caused this right?
ReplyDeleteI have uploaded some screenshots for you.

ReplyDeletepls consider it for next update...
Thanks for the idea. But why you need it? Do you have different quotas for peak and off-peak?
Deleteyes, i'm using web pal package.. it has 13gb of total(peak-8gb and off peak-5gb)

Did you try the new updated add-on? I hope that solves your problems.
Deleteyeah, got it.. thanks dude :-)
DeleteMachan SLT has changed their usage meter. Addon is no longer working.
ReplyDeleteOh! Thanks for the update bro. I'll see how I can update it.
DeleteLooks like an issue with their server to me. Will get resolved over time I guess.
DeleteIt won't, because they have changed the whole thing .
DeleteI see. Can you please tell me how you check the usage from the site now?
DeleteYou have to create a user account first.

Only then you can see the usage.
My god they've changed it completely :( Looks like I have to write it from scratch...
DeleteNew addon is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rajitha. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know that it got changed :)
