  1. There seems to be an error with the key rows on my german QWERTZ keyboard: 

     

    If I select QWERTZUIOP, actually the Y key is lit instead of the Z key. But if I select QWERTYUIOP, the correct line is used, i.e. the Z key is lit. 

     

    Also, at least on my system, the minimum size of the AIDA64 preferences window is HUGE, 1582x1175 to be exact. I cannot make it any smaller than that.  

     

    And, as D-E said, it's always very appreciated that you try to find new ways of making us geeks happy :)

  2. Hi Fiery,

    in 5.20.3430 all Aquaero temperature sensor values seem to be shifted by one. I.e. the first temperature (Air inlet) is now "Temperature #2" instead of "Temperatur #1".

    There is no value for Temperature #1 at all anymore. See the attached screenshot.

    If this should be intentionally, then I'd have to rework my panels to use the correct temperature values, which would mean a whole lot of work.

    BTW, you told me once that the Aquaero temperature sensor values are overlying the values reported for the custom temperature sensor headers on my ASUS ROG Extreme V motherboard. Until now I could live with that, but recently, I really have use for these values. Is it not possible to make them visible by any way? Perhaps adding an offset to the sensor ID, so that the values are available at higher ID numbers?

  3. Sorry for not being precise enough :)

    It's Win8.1 64bit 6.3 (Upd 1) Build 9600.17668.amd64fre.winblue_r8.150127-1500

    All official updates and patches are installed

    About the panel: Ah I see. Interesting, though, how the LCD panels work differently: While all sensors gauges, bars and displays seem to update like once a second, the graphs are actually updated much more often, like once every 350 ms, even faster than the 500ms I've set in the prefs.

  4. Windows 8.1

    Thanks for looking into it.

    BTW, is the limit of the update frequency of the Sensor Panel set to 1000 ms intentionally? All other panels can update every 500ms, but not the Sensor Panel

    I understand that you don't want to cause system instabilities and performance problems by allowing to fast updates. Still, it would be great to have an option to allow faster updates for the panels, on our own risk of course.

  5. We've tried that, but it didn't help to prevent minimizing SensorPanel with Windows key + D. AIDA64 Preferences already implements a Prevent SensorPanel from being minimized option. That's all we could do about this issue.

    Strange, as it's supposed to do that (but I never tried it myself, to be honest).

    Still it would make the window bottom-most which would have it's own advantages (never obscuring any other window) and behaving like being part of the desktop itself.

     

    As I've explained before, transparency for the SensorPanel is not possible. You can however take the wallpaper, slice out a portion of it and put it as the SensorPanel background image, to imitate a transparency effect. Many users went down that path and use SensorPanel with good results.

    Sorry, I missed that explanation (and I can't find it in this thread either ;) ).

    I don't want to intrude, especially since I don't know how you implemented the SensorPanel, but I'd like to point out that it is possible to define a transparent color key for standard windows:

    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997507.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

    It would not be possible to make the background be transparent just like that, but the user could select a color of his choice to be transparent, and where ever this color is used in the SensorPanel (on the background for example) the window would become transparent.

    If this doesn't work for you for some reason, then please don't be offended by me making that suggestion... :)

  6. A nice feature would be the possibility to set the SensorPanel as the BottomMost window on the desktop. I.e. the panel would act like a part of the desktop background itself, it wouldn't interfere with any Window on the desktop, would never obstruct any other window and wouldn't minimize when using Windows-D either. 

     

    This can be achieved using the user32.dll. You have to use FindWindow("ProgMan") and use the returned handle as the parent of your own Window (in this case the SensorPanel). 

     

    Here's an example for WPF/C#, but you can certainly adapt that to every other programming environment:

    And while I'm at it: Another great option would be to set the SensorPanel's background as transparent. That way you could place the elements freely on the desktop as you need them without obstructing the wallpaper.

  7. A simple solution would be a configurable hot key which shows/hides the panel, wouldn't it?

     

    If you're providing a small tool for this functionality (like "ShowPanel.exe", which could be started with an option like /show and /hide) which could be started through a Windows shortcut, this could be done with Windows' own facilities, by defining a hot key for that shortcut.

  8. I've just had the same error myself (and have seen it in the past as well) 

     

    Starting the update again (using Check For Update) usually works fine, sometimes you have to start it twice. 

     

    AIDA is running using elevated privileges of course.
