ForceX System Monitor v3.0.6(Feb-20-2013)

[aeons80]

I have 4 cores + hyperthreading, so the system thinks I have 8 cores. It's the new Sandybridge i7 2600k. Dunno if that makes a difference.

I'll mess around a bit and see if I can edit that file and see what I come up with. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, I tried doing what you said, I did move the temp to the correct number, but it's still reading in Celsius. While I can do a estimate of the temp in my head in c, really would like the values in f. For some reason, maybe I'm wrong, but maybe the dll for speed fan only reads C? I tried to use core temp, replacing the speed fan plugin entries just for temp, but that didn't work. The script errored out and I'm still a huge noob when it comes to rainmeter.

Also, how do I do the aero blur, that looks cool?

[aeons80]

I found out how, had to add the line SpeedFanScale=F or it defaults to C. So that's working.

For aero blur you need the latest Beta then make the following changes to "ForceX System Monitor 2.ini"

After second line "Author=ForceX" add:

Code: Select all

Update=1000
Blur=1

Scroll down to System Monitor Side Body section and stick a semi-colon ";" in front of all THREE instances of:

Code: Select all

SolidColor=xxxxxxx

Save & refresh skin. Job done...

It worked, you rock, thanks for your help.

And for the author of this skin, thanks for all your hard work!

Hey guys.

Firstly, very new to Rainmeter, but loving it so far. I'm runing an i7 lappy, with hyperthreading. I've added ForceX - however, it refuses to read my backup drive. It reads C, D (System reserved) and then jumps to G - missing the backup drive.

How do I change it ?

Thanks
Matt

Go in your documents folder and then go into these folders Rainmeter\Skins\ForceX. Open up FXSM_V2_Settings.inc file. You're looking for

Change the drive letters to match your drive numbers.

Look in
C:\Users\ENTERYOURUSERNAMEHERE\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\ForceX
for the file called FXSM_V2_Settings.inc
Open it with some kind of text editor
scroll to HDD Names (it's about halfway)
change the drive letters as you wish
save the file
refresh the skin (or simply whole rainmeter)

I think I've found a new bug.

Everything measured in SWAP is actually the complete SWAP space (pagefile) plus all RAM.

see picture.


Also, I'd like to know if it's possible to show temps from Real Temp in rainmeter. Haven't found anything about this by googling.

This is a known 'thing' (as it's not really a bug). Every systemmonotoring tool out there reads the same thing. Even Everest (which is sort of the Rolls Royce of monotoring) reads it like that.
Before the 2.0 release we talked about that, if we were going to change it. But seeing how everyone does it like that we were sort of confused about the whole thing and pretty much decided that if everyone does it like that - there has to be some good reason for it.
And it's not reallt SWAP we are measuring, it's virtual memory, even if the name of the measure is SwapMemory.
Anyhow, this is a known thing and we decided to keep it as is due to the number of skins that have used it like it is (it has been like this since the start of Rainmeter) and because it's always been like this. It's very annoying, I agree, but that's how it is atm anyhow.
