My apologies if this has already been reported.

The order of the cores displayed in the system tray appears to be slightly off, the second and fourth core appear to have been swapped if you compare the temperatures displayed.

The core temp gadget seems to be ok as does the main display for core temp, its just the system tray display.
[Edit]
My apologies, I didnt realise that the display of the temperatures in the system tray could appear in any order, not just the order displayed in the picture above, and that if need be you could drag and drop the cores back into the correct order.

Is there any way to make them launch in the correct order each time though?

Windows 7 doesn't add system tray icons in the correct order. I've tried several tricks to get it to work, but I couldn't.

If its any help, my cores are almost always displayed in the order shown in the picture above, with core 2 and 4 swapped, (1 and 3 depending on if you start counting at 0 or not,) and in the same position, with one icon to their left, its only been different the one time that Im aware of. Dragging and dropping, whilst it sort of works, seems to reorder the other icons aswell, so you dont quite get the intended effect.

Whilst it may not be possible to guarantee the order the system tray icons are created in, how about allowing the user to specify, like the text colours, which core's data is displayed in which box?

On the evidence I have, that would make it possible for windows 7 users like me to set an order and have it work most of the time.

Can any other Windows 7 users confirm what order their core information is displayed in the system tray and if that order is the same every time they start the core temp app?

That's true, same problem here...
Coretemp 99.8
Core2 duo T8100 Windows XP x64 sp2
Core2 quad Q6600 Windows XP 32bit sp2
Core2 duo E6850 Windows 2003 x64 sp2

...Anyway, with or without this little glitch, thanks for a very useful a app!

As I already said. I have no control over the order in which Windows adds the system tray icons.
