That looks great! A small typo though: "Temerature"

THX, totaly overlocked this
For everyone who's interested in this skin i've uploaded a zip file with the image, the sensorpanel and the svg (createt with Inkscape) file.

Hi Fiery - great addition to the Aida64 suite !

Having asked about something similar to this in a previous post, http://forums.aida64...__fromsearch__1, I'm glad to see the feature come to fruition and be added to the software, thanks !

Just one thing really, if you create a bar for NIC upload and download, you're limited to a max' value of 99999 KBs, assuming that's kiloBYTES that means you're stuck creating a bar for gigabit connections of the like as 99999 KBs is way to low a max threshold for creating a bar for that reading.

Otherwise excellent - work !

Also I'd love to see different bar styles for sensor readings, maybe even rounded corners and also maybe gradients for the fill colours ?

Cheers

Also how about the ability to change the alignment of the text within it's given space, i.e. within an embedded bar object, both horizontally and vertically, i.e. alike Excel whereby you can align the text within a given cell, or also the orientation of the text, and come to think of it the orientation of the object itself, i.e. a bar on a diagonal ?

[Fiery]

In the next AIDA64 beta we'll widen the bar limit fields to 6 characters.

As for the alignment, you can sort of do it now, although it's a bit tricky If you select Embedded as bar place, then:

1) If you have both the value and unit enabled, then you can increase the width of the unit to move the text to the center of the bar (horizontally).

2) If you only have the value enabled (and the unit disabled), then you can benefit from an irregular configuration of adjusting the total item width to a much lower value than the bar width. So if you have e.g. a 300-pixel wide bar, try to set the item width to 150 pixels only. It will effectively move the text to the center of the bar (horizontally).

I know these aren't perfect solutions, but you may be able to attain a better SensorPanel layout before we can implement a more advanced alignment configuration.

As for the new bar styles, we do have plans about them

Hi Fiery,

Thanks for the reply, think you missed this bit tho'

Plus I noted you can fudge the alignments somewhat that way and by inserting spaces before label names, but a more precise way would be appreciated !

Noted another problem if you select multiple bars to modify, changing the frame colour doesn't work 'globally' you have to do it for each individual bar.

No, I haven't. I wrote above: "In the next AIDA64 beta we'll widen the bar limit fields to 6 characters." That will extend the maximum limit value to 999999 KB/sec.

Noted another problem if you select multiple bars to modify, changing the frame colour doesn't work 'globally' you have to do it for each individual bar.

We'll check that, thanks!

[S_Artois]

No prob's on the 1st thing then, I hadn't had any caffeine yet, that's my excuse

Also the sensor panel manager, is there anyway you can get that to open where is was last closed as opposed to alway opening on top of the sensor panel please, i.e. can it remember it's last window position when closed, alike Explorer windows, etc. ?

[Fiery]

The SensorPanel Manager window should already remember its last window position. Isn't that the case on your system?

BTW, the bar frame colour configuration on multiple items will be fixed in the next AIDA64 beta release due sometime later this week.

[S_Artois]

The SensorPanel Manager window should already remember its last window position. Isn't that the case on your system?

Unfortunately not, I've checked everything I can and I haven't I think got anything altering the default behaviour of Windows on my computer, alike NVIDIA NView can, but that's not to mean I haven't and just can't find/remember that I have.

Also my Sensor panel lives on a Nanovision MIMO U-710, a USB monitor.

So if it's just me having this issue then probably best not to waste time on it, but if others are too, then possibly something wrong ?

Hopefully that makes sense ?

SA

[Fiery]

Maybe the fact that you have multiple monitors makes a difference...

As for the 5-digit bar limits issue and the bar frame colour adjustment bug, we've just rolled out a new AIDA64 beta that should solve both of them:

http://www.aida64.co...14gcn7wyrhdzzip

After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

[S_Artois]

Maybe the fact that you have multiple monitors makes a difference...

Possibly, if I get chance I'll investigate and see if I can 'fix' it my end.

Also re: frames on bars - can you have a way to amend the thickness of the frame please ? i.e. alike changing the thickness of lines in Excel, Word, etc., plus also whether this is in addition to the bar's dimensions or inclusive in the bar's dimensions.

Also are you looking at present 'themes' - i.e. alike Winamp skins ?

Cheers

Here is the sensor panel I have been working on. it isnt anything that great. I just thought I would share. Thanks,

Here is an idea, on top of bars a nice idea would be gauges. Look at those from Solarwinds SNMP software.

@Magman,

I would really like to see those gauges, but I cannot get any attached files to open, either in Firefox or IE9.

Would it be possible for you upload that .jpg to imageshack or photobucket and post the link?

Thanks

@Magman,

Thanks.

I had suggested a dial type interface for the Sensor Panel some months ago.

Hopefully, this is something the developers can implement.

[Fiery]

Yes, gauges and graphs are definitely on our list of improvements for "SensorPanel v2.0"

...... and that is when ?

...... and that is when ?

I'd rather not talk about any time frames, since currently we're simply swamped with ongoing projects We're working on OpenCL GPGPU Stress Test, new memory benchmarks, revamping existing CPU benchmarks, implementing Intel Ivy Bridge optimizations, ACPI 5.0, OpenCL 1.2, etc. etc. A lot of stuff, but we'll get to SensorPanel as well, and add some more juice to make it a bit fancier than it currently is.

Sounds all good ..... so will look forward to it and keep an eye on your web page and here ..... cheers !
