  1. I just wanted to share the SensorPanel design I've been working on. Any suggestions are welcome!

    • The mess of red lines in the CPU graph are the eight individual cores and the blue line is the overall load.
    • The RAM bar is the RAM utilization and has the memory clock, rated speed, and timings as well.
    • System temperatures are next, followed by the on-board fan speeds.
    • The GPU graph shows GPU load in blue, MC in red, and VE in yellow (which seems to be 0% all the time), indicated by the labels beneath the graph.
    • The GPU's current bus speed is above the graph, along with the GPU's current clock speed.
    • Video RAM utilization and clock speed, GPU diode temperature, and GPU fan speed are at the bottom.

    Some thoughts:

    • I wish there were a cleaner way of showing individual CPU cores on a graph - maybe showing only physical cores instead of all eight from HyperThreading?
    • Sensor items that display hardware models would be nice for decorating the panel. Yes, I could just put a static label on there for my own personal use, but it wouldn't be very useful for someone else's system.
    • Colors used on the panel should be able to have alpha values set. This could allow some great aesthetics, but would also allow for some easier-to-read graphs with multiple values (like the CPU cores in this example).
    • Conditional coloring for sensor values would be great. For example, you can see above the CPU graph that the clock speed is lowered in an idle state; it would be nice to have this colored when not at max speed.
    • One other addition that would make designing these panels more efficient would be a CSS class-like system where you could use a style class in place of a specific color so you could change the color used on multiple elements with one change.

    I've attached the SensorPanel file but I'd imagine you would need to have a similar board and CPU for it to work without some modifications. Here are my specs:

    i7-3770K at 4.3GHz

    Intel DZ77SL-50K board

    16GB DDR3-1600 GSkill Ares memory

    EVGA Geforce GTX 670 with 2GB RAM

    Z77_i7-3770K_GF670.sensorpanel

  2. I'm assuming this functionality isn't present, but I wanted to ask just to make sure. Is it possible to have a SensorPanel graph show more than one sensor? For example, a single graph showing lines for each CPU core's utilization or a graph showing both upload and download rates for a NIC.

    I think this functionality would greatly improve the already awesome SensorPanel.

    Thanks.
