0.99.4 System Tray numbers not readable (etc.)

[CoreTemp-User112]

Problem introduced with 0.99.4: The temperature indicators in the system tray for both of my cores are suddenly so small that I can't read them anymore. Reverting back to 0.99.3 fixes this problem and the size of the font in the system tray is back to normal.

Also: The change log says that AMD AM2+ 65nm processors got a 21c offset. This change apparently resulted in my temps to be reported at around 70c, whereas they were previously around 50c. I cannot believe that the former really is the accurate temperature. I mean, 70 degrees in relative idle mode? Please clarify why you think that for my processor this 'correction' represents an accurate temperature measurement. My processor is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ (Brisbane).

Other than that, thanks for a great job! (but i'll stick with version 0.99.3 for now)

I'm getting the incorrect trayarea icon size too. (Top left icon in the screenshot).

Windows XP SP3. Normal DPI. Classic windows theme.

The tray icon problem will be fixed in the next release. Thanks for letting me know.

Regarding the offset, simply go to Tools --> Settings and set the offset to -21.

Much better. Thanks for the quick turnaround!

Love the new High/Low recording too

Quick suggestion: Change "G15 applet" menu item to something like "G15 Keyboard LCD" -- as I had no idea what a G15 applet is.

[The Coolest]

Yeah, it is about the Logitech G15 keyboard.

Just as an FYI, not only the Logitech G15 keyboard has this LCD screen, but also the Z-10 speakers from Logitech. They have the exact same LCD screen and the Core Temp applet works with it like a charm. Might be good to update the documentation to add the Z-10 speaker LCD-screen compatibility.
