Custom font for tray icon?

by **egbakaet** » Mon May 12, 2008 10:33 am

Having custom font support (such as the ability to change it to Verdana, Arial, Tahoma as well as the size, style, and color) would be a BRILLIANT idea. It would be almost exactly like ATITool only for CPUS!

Thanks

Custom color settings are already in Core Temp. Just open the Options menu.
Custom font can be easily done, but the reason I will not implement it is a cosmetic one. System tray icon only has 16x16 pixels. And currently it's "optimized" for the best look, so the readings don't get cut off or anything.

C'mon. I use Coretemp so I can watch my overheating T8100 after undervolting (without loading 19 MB of Everest at startup). Ok it's accurate, but I can barely see the number.
I know my system tray will take at least an 11 point font at 1280X800. It's been 30 years since I was 30 and my eyes are not as sharp as many users.

Hell, I'll contribute again just to be able to read the systray. Help gramps out

Hehe, I'll see what I can do.

Currently I'm busy with work and college, so I just don't have much free time anymore.
But hopefully I can find some time to take care of these little quirks.

Thanks

Great. The new beta font looks better. I can see it w/o bi-focals, youngster !

Hee hee, just kidding. I did 7 years in college, chemistry & biochem + working, and
believe me, an education lasts a lifetime. Screw the fonts and hit the books, kid !

The 10 point tray text is good enough for now. Later, might need one in braille
