hey Raiguard, came in just to say thanks on this awesome skin/gadget. after PC meter stopped updating with cpu meter this is the perfect replacement. few things i need help with if you dont mind.
- the bar in meter is so thin, its rather a line than a bar, how to make it thicker? like at least 3-4x
- each bar (example cpu 0 is green), how can i change the temp (38C) and usage (98%) text color to the same as that corresponding bar, to green in this case.
- clock, is it possible to move the clock frequency to above CPU name?
i've tried a bunch of thing by adding stuff in CPU .ini file but of course they dont work, pls help.

Re: ModernGadgets 1.2.2 - New look, familiar gadgets
Is there a way to make the background transparent?
That would make my setup a lot cleaner

Re: ModernGadgets 1.2.2 - New look, familiar gadgets
You should be able to move the clock speed simply by cut/pasting it above the CPU name in the code. As for the bars, go to ModernGadgets/@Resources/Settings/StyleSheet.inc and find the barHeight variable. Change it, save, and refresh the gadgets.olenbr wrote:hey Raiguard, came in just to say thanks on this awesome skin/gadget. after PC meter stopped updating with cpu meter this is the perfect replacement. few things i need help with if you dont mind.

The text colors will need to be edited manually. Just add FontColor=#colorCore1# to each Meter, changing the core number in the variable as you go.
If you have any other questions don’t be afraid to ask.

Navigate to ModernGadgets/@Resources/Settings/StyleSheet.inc and find the colorBg variable. Change the 255 at the end to 0. Save the file and refresh the gadgets.ZomglordZ wrote:Is there a way to make the background transparent?

I've been using and enjoying ModernGadgets for awhile...great utility!
I need to PREVENT one of my drives from the drive meter from displaying. My NAS always shows pegged activity, so I'd like to just remove it from the display....how do I do this???

Re: ModernGadgets 1.2.2 - New look, familiar gadgets
Go into the global setting skin and turn on “Opt-in to development testing”. After a while it should prompt you to download v1.3.0-beta.2, the most recent development version. That version has the ability to hide disks you don’t want to see.insaneoctane wrote:I've been using and enjoying ModernGadgets for awhile...great utility!

hey thanks so much for those needed em pretty bad to customize.raiguard wrote:You should be able to move the clock speed simply by cut/pasting it above the CPU name in the code.

few more questions if u dont mind.
1. what file to change to customize core 1-16 colors? (ie FF421A etc if possible)
2. how can I make load "bar" & info temp/% usage on the right of the bar on same row? (to reduce space)
eg. default
core 1: __ 46C __ 20%
[____Bar Color____]
eg. new
[bar color] 46c 20%
thanks for your help!
Re: ModernGadgets 1.2.2 - New look, familiar gadgets
You can change the colors through the settings skin. As for the bars, that would require rewriting them and moving each one individually, which I am not willing to do for you. With a bit of tinkering you could probably figure it out yourself.olenbr wrote:hey thanks so much for those needed em pretty bad to customize.

Re: ModernGadgets 1.2.2 - New look, familiar gadgets
you're right I realize its a lot with subbing in variables so i got a lot going, thanks for the help with colors and stuff. one more question if you dont mind, I manage to get pretty far once its fixed I can just duplicate core 1 and make minor changes.raiguard wrote:You can change the colors through the settings skin.

I got to the above stage but stuck, please take a look i attach the screenshot. I simply replace "core 1:" with bar and worked but how do i center align green bar not horizontally but vertically? if I were to add a new variable(s) what would the name be? (basically i want the green bar to move down so theres black space above and below the bar.
thnx for your time!
