AlienALX Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hi all. Noob here so please be gentle. I purchased a 7" HDMI touch screen LCD from a friend a few days ago. I got it today, and bought Aida Extreme so that I could run it as a LCD for monitoring temps etc. It comes up in Windows as a standard monitor, I am not fussed about the touch screen part. However, when I go File-Preferences-LCD all I see are actual devices, not just a standard monitor :S Did I buy Aida in error? This is the screen here. http://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7inch_HDMI_LCD_(C) It's the 7" HDMI 1024x600 model. I figured you could use any monitor to display temps etc :S Thanks ! Alien.

Fiery Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 If your display appears in Windows as a regular monitor, and you can extend your Windows Desktop over it, then you can simply use the AIDA64 SensorPanel module instead of the LCD module Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienALX Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 haha I just found that before you replied ! OK, so I now have it dragged onto the small screen.. How do I make my own custom sensor panel? It needs to be bigger and I want to change the colours etc. Edit. Where are my manners? wow, thanks for the very quick reply ! I didn't waste £30 Edit again. Found the size but yeah, would like to skin it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can place an image on the panel that has the full size (dimensions) of the panel to make it the background image. If you're looking for something else, let me know where did you get stuck exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
