WGTicon: drag the meter to an appropriate spot and then release as soon as possible.
I don't fully agree, I drag to the required spot, hold for a couple of seconds, then release. Why? If you look at your CPU usage it increases for a second when dragging, and a couple of seconds allows it to drop and the result is less chance of a meter stutter. Works for me anyway - pity recently I just can't seem to pick the right line!
