CPU Meter "Temp" Color

[thowtue]

Hello, Got issue or maybe feature missing, but when i change the Core 1 color it changes the Temp too (as i'm not using per core temps bc i have AMD) so the Temp color is linked to the Core 1 color and i'd like to make them different colors Can you do something about this ?

Hello! Actually, the "Temp" color changes dynamically based on the CPU temperature.

It will go from blue, green (color 1), yellow (color 2), orange (color 3), to red (color 4) based on the temp. If you want to change this, you will need to edit the skin. Open the CpuMain.inc file with your preferred editor and locate the measure [CalcCoreTempPercentTjMax]. Change the colors referenced in this measure to anything you want.

I tried to change the value, but seems to have no effect at all, seems locked on "Core 1 Temp" color (PaletteColor1) even if i put PaletteColor2 on core temps between 25 to 90. Even the bar does not seem to change color too.

The code :

[CalcCoreTempPercentTjMax] Measure=Calc Formula=((#UseTjMaxOverride# = 0) ? (Clamp(MeasureCoreTempMaxTemp / ((MeasureCoreTempTjMax = 0) ? #TjMaxOverride# : MeasureCoreTempTjMax), 0, 1) * 100) : Clamp(MeasureCoreTempMaxTemp / #TjMaxOverride#, 0, 1) * 100) MinValue=0 MaxValue=100 IfCondition=(CalcCoreTempPercentTjMax <= 25) IfTrueAction=[!SetOption MeterTemperatureBarPrompt FontColor "#ColorInfoText1#"][!SetOption MeterMaxTemperature FontColor "#ColorInfoText1#"][!UpdateMeter MeterTemperatureBarPrompt][!UpdateMeter MeterMaxTemperature] IfCondition2=((CalcCoreTempPercentTjMax > 25) && (CalcCoreTempPercentTjMax <= 60)) IfTrueAction2=[!SetOption MeterTemperatureBarPrompt FontColor "#PaletteColor2#"][!SetOption MeterMaxTemperature FontColor "#PaletteColor2#"][!UpdateMeter MeterTemperatureBarPrompt][!UpdateMeter MeterMaxTemperature] IfCondition3=((CalcCoreTempPercentTjMax > 60) && (CalcCoreTempPercentTjMax <= 80)) IfTrueAction3=[!SetOption MeterTemperatureBarPrompt FontColor "#PaletteColor2#"][!SetOption MeterMaxTemperature FontColor "#PaletteColor2#"][!UpdateMeter MeterTemperatureBarPrompt][!UpdateMeter MeterMaxTemperature] IfCondition4=((CalcCoreTempPercentTjMax > 80) && (CalcCoreTempPercentTjMax <= 90)) IfTrueAction4=[!SetOption MeterTemperatureBarPrompt FontColor "#PaletteColor2#"][!SetOption MeterMaxTemperature FontColor "#PaletteColor2#"][!UpdateMeter MeterTemperatureBarPrompt][!UpdateMeter MeterMaxTemperature] IfCondition5=(CalcCoreTempPercentTjMax > 90) IfTrueAction5=[!SetOption MeterTemperatureBarPrompt FontColor "#PaletteColor4#"][!SetOption MeterMaxTemperature FontColor "#PaletteColor4#"][!UpdateMeter MeterTemperatureBarPrompt][!UpdateMeter MeterMaxTemperature] DynamicVariables=1 Disabled=1

My bad, didn't wanted to close sorry

My apologies, you didn't mention which temperature monitoring utility you were using, so I gave you the info assuming CoreTemp. If you are using HWiNFO, the measure you need to change is named [CalcHWiNFOPercentTjMax]. If you are using SpeedFan, the measure to change is [CalcSpeedFanPercentTjMax].

(In case it is an issue, I see the code you posted got somehow mangled, so make sure you are using a text editor that is using Windows CR/LF line endings, not Unix-style line endings.)

Here is the code I used. I set the color to a specific value (0,110,255), but you can use a predefined color variable or any other value you prefer.

[CalcHWiNFOPercentTjMax]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((#UseTjMaxOverride# = 0) ? (Clamp(MeasureHWiNFOMaxTemp / ((MeasureHWiNFODistToTjMax = 0) ? #TjMaxOverride# : MeasureHWiNFOCpu1 + MeasureHWiNFODistToTjMax), 0, 1) * 100) : Clamp(MeasureHWiNFOMaxTemp / #TjMaxOverride#, 0, 1) * 100)
MinValue=0
MaxValue=100
IfCondition=(CalcHWiNFOPercentTjMax <= 25)
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption MeterTemperatureBarPrompt FontColor "0,110,255"][!SetOption MeterMaxTemperature FontColor "0,110,255"][!UpdateMeter MeterTemperatureBarPrompt][!UpdateMeter MeterMaxTemperature]
IfCondition2=((CalcHWiNFOPercentTjMax > 25) && (CalcHWiNFOPercentTjMax <= 60))
IfTrueAction2=[!SetOption MeterTemperatureBarPrompt FontColor "0,110,255"][!SetOption MeterMaxTemperature FontColor "0,110,255"][!UpdateMeter MeterTemperatureBarPrompt][!UpdateMeter MeterMaxTemperature]
IfCondition3=((CalcHWiNFOPercentTjMax > 60) && (CalcHWiNFOPercentTjMax <= 80))
IfTrueAction3=[!SetOption MeterTemperatureBarPrompt FontColor "0,110,255"][!SetOption MeterMaxTemperature FontColor "0,110,255"][!UpdateMeter MeterTemperatureBarPrompt][!UpdateMeter MeterMaxTemperature]
IfCondition4=((CalcHWiNFOPercentTjMax > 80) && (CalcHWiNFOPercentTjMax <= 90))
IfTrueAction4=[!SetOption MeterTemperatureBarPrompt FontColor "0,110,255"][!SetOption MeterMaxTemperature FontColor "0,110,255"][!UpdateMeter MeterTemperatureBarPrompt][!UpdateMeter MeterMaxTemperature]
IfCondition5=(CalcHWiNFOPercentTjMax > 90)
IfTrueAction5=[!SetOption MeterTemperatureBarPrompt FontColor "0,110,255"][!SetOption MeterMaxTemperature FontColor "0,110,255"][!UpdateMeter MeterTemperatureBarPrompt][!UpdateMeter MeterMaxTemperature]
DynamicVariables=1
Disabled=1

You didn't mention you wanted to change the bar color. This bar is an image, not one that is a configurable color. To change the bar color, you need to edit the meter [MeterBarTemperature]. Comment out the line that specifies the image, then add the line that specifies the BarColor option; again you can use whatever color you want.

[MeterBarTemperature]
Meter=Bar
MeterStyle=StyleBar | StyleAllBar
MeasureName=CalcCoreTempPercentTjMax
;BarImage=#@#BarGradient.png
BarColor="0,110,255"
Hidden=#HideTempBar#

Here is the result:

Allright i've found it, thank you ! I tried also to change directly by the color first like you've done but found aout that havent changed anything so i thought i was wrong so i replaced by #PaletteColor2# and nothing too, but i've made the changes now and it works. Sorry for not precise that i was using HWinfo, i should have scrolled down a bit more and find it myself, and find the solution haha, but thank you :)

Also didn't know why the code was rendered like that, i'm using np++ and pasted it directly from it so dunno why :/

Also, big thanks for making these monitoring tools, i'm using them for a while now, when it was on deviant art :)

Glad you are enjoying the Gadgets! 👍

The Gadgets are still available on DA here, but Github or the Rainmeter forums are the best places to get them and to ask questions, as I don't check DA very often.

Oh okay, i saved a page on DA when i downloaded years ago, and it was 404 when i tried to reach it, so i searched on google an found you've updated it on Github
