Spun up CoreTemp, and it works fine.

The plugin comes with Rainmeter, but the actual CoreTemp application must be running on the user's computer as well.

I think the temperature to 3 decimal places might be a bit overkill... In the world of temperatures, I'm not sure 18.394 degrees has any real meaning that 18 degrees doesn't.

Where? I didn't find it.

It is and using it isn't a problem. But the CoreTemp app MUST run in background to can get the temperatures: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=29784&p=154019#p154017

In the deviant art post. I will add it here as well.

I added in the description that it should be running. I thought of it as common knowledge but that's a mistake from my part.

Where do you see 3 decimals? I think I have 0 decimals to all temperatures...

I don't think you need to do that... check the image jsmorley posted above... it displays the same temperature to all cores which is all the info you can get so it's not wrong. Unless you don't want the user to think that you actually display each core's temperature, then I'm with you.

I don't know how did you get those three decimals, because:

If you are doing something with the numbers in Lua, you will have to turn them into integers there before you send them to the skin in a Bang.

Also, note the the longer temperature values causes the load values to be pushed entirely off the skin...
