Modify Enigma CPU graph

[Fox Fire]

First off, I love the Enigma skin.

One thing I've noticed is a lot of cpu graphs for rainmeter in general are for dual cores and maybe a quad

Nowadays, a lot of us are running the new i7's, and soon, AMD's Bulldozer

This requires graphs that can show up to 8 or more cores

I like the Enigma cpu graph in the latest version, but would like to mod it to an 8 core version. I'm sure I'm not alone in this desire for better cpu graphs

I do have some programming skills, but only in Java, so help would be greatly appreciated in learning code for Rainmeter

I think you are mixing up thread with cores, Sandybridge i7s (the current ones) have 4 cores, and given the disappointing press reviews AMD Bulldozers 8 aren't worth owning.

Assuming the CPU monitoring plugin that the skin uses supports a bulldozer, it's fairly straightforward to add the additional measures & meters using the existing skin as a template, of course you might be better off posting your query in the dedicated Enigma Support Thread...

As for learning Rainmeter you should go read through Rainmeter 101 to familiarise yourself with the concepts, the manual is linked on the same page...

This was something I wanted to work on myself to start learning the programming behind it

I have read the documentation and have been doing some messing around and will continue to do so

I re-wrote it for 4 cores just till I at least get this working. The 3rd core shows up, but in the wrong spot, So I'm going to have to do some messing around. The 4th doesn't show up at all. I don't know if it is the color it choose on my background or needing to change the plugin to something that supports it.

Here is my code. If anyone has some tips or hints as to help set up the 3rd graph so it goes below the 2nd and not on top of the 1st, that would be great. I haven't set up the borders to go with the new graphs yet, but I'm trying to do 1 thing at a time.

Edit: All 4 graphs have been aligned correctly now. CPU X text and the percent to go with it are not correct and borders for the new graph are not implemented yet.
