Fiery.....WHY... I was just getting down with some great ideas.... ... Oh well guess ill have to wait for next beta version.

Don't worry. You are one of those power-users who're always using the very latest beta release, so this small issue shouldn't affect you much The next beta will be out in a few days, so stay tuned Until then, you can use the last beta release, it is virtually identical to the v1.70 stable release:

Brilliant... Ill downgrade now.! thanks:D

In-game OSD is still not supported, but as soon as TechPowerUp get ready with their new OSD Server software, we'll implement support for that in AIDA64. Using that you'll be able to put AIDA64 sensor readings onto in-game OSD.

Hi Fiery,

Still no luck in supporting RivaTuner OSD server as well, so AIDA readings could be available to EVGA Precision/MSI Afterburner users? I've been offering to do so for Everest for so many years

[johnbriner]

Hey! This is great! Very nice idea! I will be waiting for more new versions! Thanks for sharing!

It's great to see you here, Unwinder We've implemented Rivatuner OSD Server (RTSS) support in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at:

You can activate and configure it in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / External Applications.

Fantastic! only leaarnt about this this morning my first crude attempt took a little under 1/2 hour much better than the OSD or Vista sidebar.

[Henu3duka]

Now I'm forced to use 3 programs simultaneously
1. RivaTuner has best graphs with background monitoring and settings, hotkeys, sound alarm by triggers, best convenient look, AIDA-plugins, but cannot control fan of my GTX460.
2. AIDA for monitoring other sensor that cannot Riva do, but AIDA has not graphs, bad OSD, no hotkeys to call it.
3. MSI Afterburner controls fan in my GTX460, but has very bad graphs, imposible looking, no AIDA-plugins, bad tray digits and always-working RTSS for it.

Result: if AIDA will copy all best things from Riva, I can remove Riva at least!

Wow those sensor panels really look good. Just curious though, where do you guys get the logos? Just from company websites?

Yes, or simply from Google image search

My first attempt:

http://i291.photobuc.../SenorPanel.jpg

I have a lot of wasted space, so I am working on getting the size a bit more compact.


Second version:

http://i291.photobuc...ensorPanel2.jpg

A bit more compact.

How could I place a calendar and clock on the Sensor Panel in lieu of Date and Time?

[Arctucas]

@Fiery,

Would it be possible to make the Sensor Panel background transparent in lieu of colored?

If so, would that allow users to have their various sensors/labels/bars etc. appear to be 'floating' on top of their desktop background?

Personally, I would like this type of option very much, rather than a colored 'panel'.

SensorPanel currently only supports the text date and time. We may add a graphical clock later, but it's not on our short term roadmap I'm afraid.

The current rendering solution of the SensorPanel doesn't support such transparency We'll check what can be done, although a full transparency effect may require a completely different rendering approach.

BTW, if you have a fixed place of the SensorPanel on your Windows Desktop (e.g. always the top-right corner), then you may get the transparency effect by taking the Desktop background image, cutting the part out of it where the SensorPanel is placed, and putting that image on the SensorPanel as a background image

When I change "Shadow" (under "Font name"), I have lost my changed label (reset to default value).

When I do Win+D (close all windows) to watch SP, it`s closed too - it`s not good!

We've tried that, but couldn't reproduce the issue. Please let us know the exact steps you perform when you lose the label.

You should use Win+M instead

After reboot, I'm trying to repeat the sequence of my steps, but I can not. I don`t see this issue yet.

Please let us know if you find that issue again, or any other problems with the SensorPanel

[Aidaknow]

At the moment , unless I'm wrong, in order to display the sensor panel on the

desktop you need to

1. open AIDA64

2. go to the file menu

3. select preferences

4. select the sensor panel

5. check show sensor

6. hit apply

7. hit ok

8. close AIDA64 window.

Just wonder if it might be possible to have a creatable short cut to the sensor

panel?

[Fiery]

Once you enable the SensorPanel, AIDA64 will remember that setting, and will automatically display the SensorPanel when you launch AIDA64. You can set AIDA64 to launch at every Windows startup. And you can also configure AIDA64 to hide its main window when you launch it (or when it is automatically launched at Windows startup). Both options are available in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / General.

[Henu3duka]

Fiery, We have only "SP always on top", but also need "SP always on desktop" !
After reboot, I have auto-start some windows (e.g. TotalCMD) and SP appears on top of all.
Maybe, hotkey for open/hide SP ?

About Bars:
1. Maybe good when user has only 1 colour limit by default and can add more if he wants?
2. Smoothly iridescent color would be best! Min - first color (green), Max - second color (red), possible third color (yellow) in the middle.

Thanks Fiery, yes I have AIDA64 loading at start up and with the main window hidden and if show sensor panel is checked it shows automatically which is fine, but I don't always want to have the sensor panel showing, so at the moment, if it's not showing I need to open main window again and run through the steps to make it show/not show.

So I just thought it might be good to have a toggle from the system tray AIDA64 icon popup menu or the ability to make a shortcut operable from the tray or desktop.

Still sensor panel is a great way to monitor the system from the desktop, so thanks a lot.
