lcd miscellany main Screen Expained #16

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Please describe the problem:
I have most of the other function working well. It's just the main screen 
definitions. 
Have been using your LCDMIS  ( very good )  would like to know what the main 
screen is telling me. Instead of me thinking I  know, would really like to make 
sure!.
The CPU  and MEM  are obvious,  But the C is that core? and the D ? H and F . , 
Can you post a explanation  of what I'm seeing on the main screen.
And how do I change any of this ie backgrounds, the  values on screen ie Celsius

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
 win 7 64bit 
with a G19 Keyboard.

The letters are free space on the corresponding drives, in GB.  "VM" is virtual 
memory usage (Also known as "page file" usage).

To switch to Celsius, you need to get the url of your location in Yahoo weather 
in Celsius.  Go to http://weather.yahoo.com/ and get your local weather.  Click 
on the "RSS" link, and copy the url.  Then open up "LCDMisc.ini" in a text 
editor of your choice.  Then go to the [URLs] section, and replace the url in 
the "Weather =" line with you URL you get.  The url will have a "u=f" or "u=c" 
in it.  If you have "u=f", replace it with "u=c" to get celsius instead.

That was so obvious , just could not see it ,mmm . 
So there is no core temp been displayed then.
 Can you have the core temp on the main page instead of drive information really don't need that , Just the core temp of my muli processes and the graphic card. Like to see how games are loading my card and chips. The weather temp I had already changed thanks.
It was just the main screen and what it showing me.

Unfortunately, there's no standard Windows API to get core temp.  If you 
install SpeedFan, there are scripts to support it, but you'll need to slightly 
modify G19Status.c to display the info I get from SpeedFan.

You'll need to use SpeedFanStatus.c to locate the right temperature, then copy 
over the necessary code.  Note that this shouldn't be a difficult task if 
you've had any experience scripting, but may be a bit more difficult if you 
haven't.

Also, I haven't checked the SpeedFan code in a while.  They could have modified 
their API since, and broken stuff, though I'd be surprised if that were the 
case.

Of, and if you do try your hand at modifying the scripts, just re-run 
LCDMiscellany after modifying the files.  No need to exit it first.  Makes 
testing changes much faster.
