iStat Pro Widget Not Working?

Hi,

I have already emailed the developer about this issue (still waiting for a response).

In the meantime, I wondered if someone here might be able to help. I upgraded my MacBook Pro (mid-2010, 2.53 GHz, i5) to Lion (10.7.3) in the past week. My widget was working fine. Today I noticed that it wasn't displaying the correct information (i.e. my battery was charged, but the widget claimed my battery was at 64%). It seemed as though the entire widget was completely frozen. I uninstalled it with AppCleaner then downloaded and installed fresh from the developer's site. Now, the widget is blank (save for the "iStat Pro" displayed across it) and I cannot click the "i" or "?" buttons. Has anyone else had this issue? I love using this widget to monitor my system. How can I get it working again? Any ideas?

Thank you.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

No Cerebro, iStat Widget running fine over here. Must admit I don't use it much but all stats are active and all bells & whistles running as expected. Have you tried trashing the .plist... Well, you did nuke it with AppCleaner, so that should have taken it out, yet maybe worth a shot. Which version is it?

Problem's solved. Don't know how it solved, but it solved. My Finder went unresponsive for some other reason (not sure why, was doing a Spotlight search, then got a beachball), and I ended up having to reboot my machine. Upon restart, the widget seemed to be working just fine. Don't know what, if any, connection there was between the issues, but a reboot seems to have cleared it.
