    Thanks, and nope. I have the "bugeye" wagon ;p. But I don't take good pictures so I found this guy's subie, haha. Subie ftwwww.

    And lol. It's just cpu usage. Don't need to see each individual core. However I care about my core temps, that's why HWMonitor is running. Need to get them cooler. :(

    Do you know about hwmonitor tray? its a file you put in the hwmonitor folder and instead of it being placed on the taskbar, you get a icon in the system tray, much better imo.

    Sounds interesting. This?

    Do you know a site that has screens of this? I would like to see pix of this. The app doesn't really affect me since I have such huge screen real estate, but if the tray app looks decent and I can read it, then I may consider. :D

    The one that Mcgrady has linked to is what I'm talking about.


    All it does is minimize the hwmonitor app to the sys tray, you then just double click the icon and you see hwmonitor as it would normally be, like in your screenshot, and then double click same icon to minimize again.

    I find it usefull. something less on the taskbar which is quite nice.

    The Green icon with the thermometer is it.
