How about putting coretemp in the Vista sidebar?

Just a little idea I thought of, instead of making the Vista version of Coretemp put itself in the system tray, how about a version for the Windows Sidebar?

I second this. I would love to see Core Temp have a Vista Sidebar feed once it works in Vista correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I'll into this when I get more free time, as currently I'm rather busy.
I will add this to the "Look into" part of the to do list

Do you have shared memory support in yet? If you do, I can use that to extract the info and write my own sidebar gadget. It doesn't have to be part of the app directly, it only has to be able to acess info somewhere on the system.

Sorry, but I don't have memory sharing yet.
I will look into it when I get the chance, thanks.

I would also love to see this functionality.

I've been waiting for someone to add Coretemp to the Vista SideBar myself.
I know SFKilla has done it with Speedfan, but it just loads too much information.

Coretemp is just awesome because it only displays the CPU information. Simple, useful, and accurate!

A gadget that just parses the information out of coretemp's logs is all that would be necessary. It wouldn't be quite as "clean cut" as there would be a delay between CT writing the information in the log and the gadget reading/displaying it, and it would require both the gadget and CT to write/look for the log file in the same area, but it could be done.
