Average CPU usage in gadget

Post by Storm Kraken »

Would it be possible to have the option to add the average percent of the whole CPU being used somewhere in the Core Temp Gadget? I used to use a gadget similar to the Core Temp Gadget that did this in its corner, and I found it useful.

In v2.5 go to the Graphs section, and tick "Display global CPU load in RAM graph".
This is will display an average cpu load instead of the memory usage graph.

I guess technically that does what I was asking, but I was looking more for something that would give the average percent of CPU usage as a number somewhere on the gadget. I have a another program that performs actions depending on how high the average CPU is, and I would like to have a better idea of how that number varies with different tasks. It's a small issue for me, but it might be convenient.

I would use the system tray CPU load icon, but it doesn't contrast enough with my toolbar to be able to see it (and trying to change its color seems to cause Core Temp to crash). Having the number on the gadget fits more with the way my computer is organized than having the number in the system tray anyway.

This option is a consideration for the next release as well (an extra set of bars), so you'll just have to wait for the next release :)

Sounds good, thanks. I'll just have to be patient then. :wink:

An extra set of bars sounds interesting anyway.
