strife1013 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hello all I am new here but have been using AIDA64 and I like the idea of the new Sensor Panel but I am unsure how I want mine to look like. I was wanting to know what some of examples of what people have put together here so that I can get a general idea of what I like and how I should go about creating my Sensor Panel.

Fiery Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 In the beta SensorPanel topic, you can see a few examples of how other users built up their panel design: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakeyes Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 First Attempt. Great design, very easy to work with. Any way to save Panels beyond saving ini ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 We'll soon implement SensorPanel profiling, to let you save your panel configuration -- including background images -- into a single file, and backup it, or share it with other users.

djmorgan Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Very simple but gives all the data I need from a single running program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakeyes Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Another simple variation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakeyes Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Fiery,the more I play with your SensorPanel, the more I am impressed with the thought and effort that went into the design. Quite apart from general cosmetic changes (that I'm sure you will add over time) it is extremely intuitive and flexible. The ability to change the colors at different levels and use the four arrows to properly position the items etc. etc. are greatly appreciated. It continues the tradition of quality you established with your software. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took us a lot more time to design and develop the SensorPanel module than we've ever imagined, but the feedbacks so far are very positive. We were a bit afraid of the complexity of the panel items configuration, but it seems everyone likes to play with it and tweak it for hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 lol, the hard part is defining the layout... formatting options appear to all be there. One request for the future hopper is to be able to specify the SensorPanel height/width on the File/Preference/SensorPanel page. My hand is not so steady and my dragging results are questionable at best. SensorPanel reminds me of SFKilla's Multimeter, which appears to have gone underground. http://tinyurl.com/yj6tgnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, you can precisely set the SensorPanel dimensions by doing: 1) Close AIDA64 2) Start Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE) 3) In the Registry Editor navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FinalWire\AIDA64 In there two keys represent the SensorPanel dimensions: SensorPanelWidth SensorPanelHeight 4) After changing those values, close Registry Editor, and start AIDA64 Regards, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidaknow Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 This is what I have made up, just used a part of my wallpaper as an image and moved it to the top of the list in SensorPanel Manager so it looks like the panel is suspended over the desktop. This latest release of AIDA64 is the biz, because now I can monitor on the desktop as I test new overclocks and bench as well as monitor all system stats while in game. Just a fantastic piece of software :-). Thanks to Fiery and team ! An UPDATE to give an idea how this can look on a desktop, here is a link to a new sensor panel I made up in use. http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/screenshots/windows/#/d3z90yz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We've implemented accurate (pixel-level) SensorPanel resizing option in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / SensorPanel in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1462zqf1bnw9axzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

That's responsive I copied all files over... would just copying the .exe file have been sufficient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 That's responsive I copied all files over... would just copying the .exe file have been sufficient? In this particular case replacing AIDA64.EXE would have been sufficient. But to be on the safe side, replacing all files is generally recommended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiery Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Except the .ini file, if I want to regain my settings? Correct. Although, keep in mind that we never include .INI files in our beta or stable AIDA64 packages. So if you download the latest AIDA64 ZIP package, and extract all files from it into your existing AIDA64 installation folder, all your previous settings will be retained.

Dutch Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 OK, pressing the largesse of the developers, i have an esoteric request. First, here is what I have started: (Sorry, not familiar with thumbnail usage) I set the bar max value to 0, so the bar is always full, and as the sensor value ranges through the various limits, it switches color reflecting the levels set in the bar limit values. Essentially making it a multicolor LED. In the display above I would like to be able to place 5 buttons in a row, but due to my design criteria that it matches gadgets in width, I am limited to 125 pixels. My conflict arises with the current minimum bar width of 20 pixels. Is it possible to reduce the minimum bar width? If there are scaling issues, perhaps a quick test to see if max bar value is zero? I am having fun playing with this Thank you. Edit: setting the bar Max value to zero (0) does not work... the color stays at the lowest level setting regardless of the sensor value. Use one (1) as the bar Max setting and the bar will be full with the color following the limit settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 We've changed the minimum bar width to 3 pixels in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1469s2elk8yzgnzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. Thanks, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Got the 5 button panel in thanks to smaller bar width allowed Couple panels to go, but the pattern has been set, and the rest should go faster. The pixel level formatting is great, and the ability to select multiple objects in the SensorPanel Manager and move them all in sync by clicking the up/down/side arrows is very efficient. The buttons and background I use were easily generated at http://cooltext.com/Buttons (I have NO affiliation with them), a fairly powerful and flexible button generation site. Is there a way I can set the SensorPanel background to clear/transparent to have the panels float over the desktop? Great work. Thank you.

Fiery Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Is there a way I can set the SensorPanel background to clear/transparent to have the panels float over the desktop? It's not possible. Other users achieved that by cutting the part of the Desktop background image and using it as a background image on the SensorPanel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefer Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hey, I know this thread is somewhat old, but I was looking to start a thread where everyone posts their sensorpanel display; apparently this one was already here, so I figured I would just join the party. I have had Aida 64 for some time, and have been using the OSD. I somehow caught wind of the sensor panel just last night (I didn't know about it), and after a few hours this is what my display looks like (this is my left monitor). I'm quite happy with how it came out, and I thought I would share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Tech Dynamics Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Here is my setup for the SensorPanel, you can even download my settings. 2011-09-24_Fed0115.zip Enjoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
