Be nice if multiple date/time zones could be added for us who have family/friends in different places around the world. That would be useful information at a glance. So when my wife asked me what time/date it is somewhere I can have a ready made answer for her when she wants to make a phone call. Impress her a bit with my quick answers.

This is why I am frozen in time with my pc. Everything just works so I don't change anything unless I have to. I don't want the headaches. Edit: Windows 11 updated and my printer quit working. Arghhh.

Those toggle switches for the fans and led's are cool.

You can select that in sensor panel manager.

1920x1280 Here is the second part. The prior post has the images. Aida64 size restrictions caused me to spit between two post. Widget launcher needed for clocks. I did some changes above Godzilla's head to match the sensor readouts above King Kongs head. Below is the revised sensor panel file. Edit: If you want to use sticky notes, I used Microsoft PowerToys and checked always on top. 644794926_Scaredladywithspacecarkingkong.sensorpanel 86326702_wideeyedgirlwithkingkong.sensorpanel

1920x1280. I guess my sensor panel has to many images. Says it is too big to post. So I had to split the files into two different post's. The zip file is just the images. Look at the next post for the sensor panel file. Widget launcher will be needed for the clocks. SensorPanel.zip

I see all lot of these "Tech or Gaming" themes on sensor panels and because I was surrounded by technical readout screens all my working life(including computer software for industry and on machinery) I decided to go a different direction. Not that the screens I see here are not well done,they are, but having them in my eyesight all the time is not something I desire to do. So I free-handed a sci-fi movie theme sensor panel that are from movies from the 50's-60's. I found that not having boxes to put the readouts into and having to line everything up by eye without borders to help line thing up and incorporating transparency with the desktop image was harder than I thought it would be when I started. I keep thinking I am done then notice a readout that is off a few pixels here and there on the panel and keep messing with it. I think I am done now but who knows.

Sometimes when loading games my FPS counter will go to 4 digits(example 1239) and then it is too wide for the area it's showing in. But no game I have actually play's at that high of a frame rate. So it would be nice to be able to limit the FPS shown to a max of three digits, like 999. Edit: Unless I make the readout really small, and with my old eye's if it gets too small I have difficulty, even with glasses.

I could not add any more files to the original sensor panel that is prior to this(To many files I guess) so I did it in a new thread. This is all the files needed to do this sensor panel. The whale is for sticky notes. This is for a 1920x1280(mine is a 10.5 inch) monitor. The clocks and weather I used widget launcher(always on top checked). Always on top checked for Sticky Notes. For those that are new to this like I was when I started this panel you will have to create a folder and put the images in the folder then direct SensorPanel Manager to where there located. Same for Sticky Notes and the whale. If you use C:\Sensor panels aida64\images as your folder then SensorPanel Manager will know the location of the files and then no configuration needed. I set the transparency in Aida64 to 12% so the the lighthouse(which is the windows desktop background) can be seen. popeye whale addition.sensorpanel

I have two clocks that are in different time zones on my sensor panel and it would be nice to be able to show the date according to time zone. The second clock on my sensor panel is over the international date line and is 15 hours ahead of the first clock so after 9 am local time its the next day on the second clock. So I can't put an accurate date for the second clock on the sensor panel.

There is a lot of excellent work here in sensor panels and I am not that good. But this is my entry at 1920x1280 on a 10.5 inch monitor. I included the lightning bolt and Black/white engraving of lighthouse. Sticky notes would need Microsoft Power Toys to keep it always on top and the black border. Version 2: I used a app called widget launcher to add weather and clocks. Added a Anchor/Wheel jpeg to lower right. More stuff- Added more nautical png's. Final Final Version: Added a octopus and ship wheels behind the clocks. That took longer than I thought it would. I just learned that an average lightning strike is 1,000 gigawatts of power. I think we should get there with our pc's in about 2050. Final Final Final Version: Added semi-transparent compass on top of lightning bolt. For those who don't have 3 ssd drives I edited a image of a dolphin and also a lighthouse that matches the size of the ssd temperature gauges and can replace them. border-Stickynotes-black.sensorpanel weather widget.sensorpanel With clocks and ship wheel.sensorpanel Compass wheel clock.sensorpanel added dolphin removed temp sensor.sensorpanel

I don't mind the cost even for a single copy. What I don't want to do is spend yearly to get updates. Even cell phones nowadays give 3-5 years of software support. By only giving one year of support, well it's kinda like being on a yearly subscription service. So I tried the Turzx USB stats 5" monitor. There is still some software issues to work out with it so I have it in a drawer for now(some of the sensors are erratic at hooking the data). It was cheap, 42 dollars, almost the cost of a yearly update subscription to Aida64. I don't know if they will succeed, but it shows a path forward to bypass Aida64 update cost's. If I was the aida64 dev I would be vary concerned about this type of hardware. It might just take a bigger company to take this on besides Turzx, or Turzx might get it's product together and be successful. But I will jump on whatever comes because of the fees for aida64.
