I've since changed the text message box on the right from that scrolling 3D thing to the same flat scrolling list as the calendar on the left... because I'm an OCD freak. The wallpaper is a live wallpaper called Ice Galaxy, which is awesome, free, and so far doesn't seem to really affect battery life.

What's the name of that data usage widget? I might have to try that out.

It's called "My Data Manager"

It works pretty well and there is even an option where it will disable your mobile data once you reach a threshold that you set. The widget could stand to look a bit more sleek but that's just me nitpicking.

I haven't had a chance yet to use the data meter built into our stock ICS build so I don't know if that one has the auto-disable feature. I also don't remember seeing a widget for it as well.

According to what the pop-up window said, it should disable data the moment you reach the threshold you set. You also have a warning threshold you can set. You can also restrict background app data to wifi only. But it doesn't allow a choice of apps, so I am assuming it will restrict all apps.

Edit: just adding that there is no stock widget for monitoring data.

It's called "Block"; but quite outdated. ;)

I had to show my one true love; just picked her up this weekend and OmG do I get giddy when I start the engine.

OP, what is the name of the data usage widget on your homescreen?

@TheGeek

You're gonna hate me... but I can't tell which Mitsu car you have as your wallpaper? Looks pretty sweet tho!
