Feature request: Support running without Open Hardware Monitor #7

Open gamedevsam opened 2 years ago

Seems like OHM is only used to obtain temps and is not involved in the actual logic of enabling / disabling boost. It would be a nice feature to just not show temps in the UI if the OHM is not running, let users decide if they want that extra piece of info / software running on their PC or not (I personally use MSI Afterburner to keep and eye on temps, FPS and other stats).

Hey gamedevsam,

I just read through all of your comments, suggestions and concerns and I want to thank you for the feedback. I'm going to be overhauling this program over to C# and plan on addressing all the feedback I have gotten. Because of the limitations of Tkinter I'm having a difficult time implementing a functional tray feature (have come close), perhaps if I decide not to move to C# I could utilize PyQt.

Thanks again! Dave B

I think moving to C# is a wise move. Working with WinForms + C# is super enjoyable!

You'll also be able to get more help from other devs, as I think it's a more standard stack to build UIs within Windows.

If you create the project skeleton and post some sort of roadmap on Git I might be able to help build some features (if you're open / interested in getting help), I have a good deal of C# / WinForms experience.
