Hi all,

-------------
UPDATE ii.3.0 - 2015-04-12: In that location is now an All-in-One meter that has CPU usage, RAM usage, PageFaults/sec, PageFile usage, Disk Bytes/sec, and Net IO in Bits or Bytes. Information technology show iv minutes of data. I added this to help me troubleshoot bug in programs when I cannot look at the meters. I as well added TimeZones and DST to the Clock, and add more clocks for a total of 4. I needed to take my time and the TimeZone from a couple other parts of the globe for work.

If upgrading from ii.two.0 to two.3.0 and you desire to keep your quondam settings files, fill-in these files and copy them back after you upgrade, and refresh all the skins. That should keep most all of your settings from before. Each GPU has information technology's ain settings file. Restore which ever ones you are using.
SimplePerfMeters\ @ Resources\globalsettings.inc
SimplePerfMeters\ @ Resources\HWiNFO.inc
SimplePerfMeters\GPU0\GPUsettings.inc

Since I added more clocks to the globalsettings.inc file, if yous restore the previous version of the file, you lot may desire to copy the Clock variables from the new globalsettings.inc to your restored file. Not a big deal if you don't, the settings for each clock volition not accept default values. Simply make sure to set some value in each Clock that yous use.

-------------------
These are Simple Functioning monitoring meters (and a couple of extras) that I wanted for my own use. At this time, they are simple but provide enough data so I tin see if my system is running normally. I think I am just about done adding new things. This became way bigger that I idea information technology would, but they are all useful. I'll prepare any bugs equally all-time I can, and I am trying to ho-hum downward on changes to this skin.

At that place are several clickable locations on the meters. Clicking on any Histogram will starting time up the Functioning Resource monitor. The idea is, you see a meter with high activeness, click it to get quick access to the Resources monitor and then yous tin can investigate why it is happening.

At that place are four variants of the CPUmem Meter. The original no Temps, and 3 with Temp versions.
CPUmem.ini - the original meter with no Temps, no CPU fan.
CPUmemTemp1.ini - simply displays ane Temp, if you don't desire to see every core. CPU fan rpm. Requires HWiNFO.
CPUmemTemp1nocores.ini - only displays 1 Temp, and no individual cores, only the Average CPU usage.
CPUmemTemp1to1.ini - This is more than for AMD processors that take 1 core per Temp sensor. CPU fan rpm. Requires HWiNFO.
CPUmemTemp2to1.ini - This is for most Intel processors that take ii threads per Temp sensor. CPU fan rpm. Requires HWiNFO.

Apply the Settings skin to make full in the correct Temp sensor IDs for y'all system. Click the HWiNFO icon to start up the Shared Retentivity Viewer. You must already accept HWiNFO installed and running before you can setup the IDs. Each CPU pare with temps will but utilize the fist of the temp Cores listed. Meaning the peel with only one temp volition only use Temp Core 0. The other Temp skins will apply however many cores you have. You only need to fill in what y'all program on using.

All-in-One meter. I added this mostly for troubleshooting to relieve 4 minutes of information while I am using full screen programs. Some may choose to use this instead of some of the other meters. I simply run this one when I want to see the last iv minutes of data all in sync. In that location are 1 minute time lines to assist prove when the data spike occurred.

GPU meter added. In the GPU settings pare, I provided the SensorID and Instance for each sensor EntryID. I found on one of my GPU that HWiNFO placed a couple of sensors under a unlike SensorID. So, this seemed the best way to make sure everyone can enter the sensor IDs they accept. Make sure all information is correct for each sensor.

AMD GPU settings.
Later on researching the AMD GPU and HWiNFO and DirectX APIs, it seems like AMD and D3D APIs practise not provide a expert way to determine the accurate GPU memory full and used MB. So, I added some new GPU settings that will allow you lot to go closer to a right meter of memory used, not completely correct, but closer to being correct. Select the AMD box and type in the max retention your card has. Then choose the D3D Dedicated memory used HWiNFO sensor. That does not show all the memory used, but that is as close as you volition get for the Retentivity meter with AMD cards.
The nVidia settings should keep to piece of work properly for nVidia cards.
I believe Intel integrated graphics too does non have the correct settings in HWiNFO to go a correct display for memory used.
So, it seems Intel and AMD did not add together the extra retentivity data points in their drivers, so HWiNFO cannot go admission to correct memory used. And nVidia has provided this information in their drivers.

If y'all alter the Temperature Units from C to F and back in HWiNFO, all the temps in all the skins will change with the appropriate Units.

I did my best to brand Settings skins so yous would not have to edit the HWiNFO.inc file by paw. You can still practise that if y'all like, but the Settings skins should be enough to make it all piece of work.

Any bug getting HWiNFO to run on your system, delight visit the HWiNFO site and cheque there forums for assist. http://www.hwinfo.com/

HWiNFO - GPU D3D Memory Dynamic (MB)

On all Histogram meters, the number on the left is the current sample and the number on the right is the scale of the Histogram.

Internal IP accost. Information technology seems the plugin that gets the Internal IP address works well nigh of the time. If it does not, y'all can cull the IP from a list that your organisation currently has configured in the Network Settings.

Groundwork colour. I set the default to black and is mostly transparent. (0,0,0,100) That fashion some color from your wallpaper would show through. If you accept a very light or very nighttime wallpaper, and desire a more solid color like to the bluish in my encompass image, try using 0,50,100,240. That works good with all the other colors I used in the skins.

FYI, I made these on my Windows seven organisation, and I've been told by others that information technology works well in Windows 10.

Enjoy.
------------------
UPDATE 2.iii.0 - 2015-04-12: There is now an All-in-One meter that has CPU usage, RAM usage, PageFaults/sec, PageFile usage, Deejay Bytes/sec, and Net IO in Bits or Bytes. It evidence 4 minutes of data. I added this to assistance me troubleshoot issues in programs when I cannot wait at the meters. I also added TimeZones and DST to the Clock, and add more clocks for a total of iv. I needed to have my time and the TimeZone from a couple other parts of the world for work.
UPDATE 2.2.0 - 2015-12-03: Added more GPU meters, up to iv now. Added on/off switch for GPU fan display. Stock-still dissever by 0 error some were getting in the GPU max memory calculation. Added a CPU meter with only the Average and no cores, if you lot want a simpler await.
If upgrading from 2.1.0 to 2.2.0 and yous want to go on your onetime settings files, backup these 2 files and copy them back subsequently y'all upgrade, and refresh all the skins. That should proceed near all of your settings from before.
SimplePerfMeters\ @ Resources\globalsettings.inc
SimplePerfMeters\ @ Resources\HWiNFO.inc

UPDATE 2.one.0 - 2015-x-09: Changed Disk Meters and so you can type any drive letter for any of the 8 disk meters in the Disk Settings skin. In doing this, I changed many variable names to make it more consistent, so if y'all save your old config files, you volition demand to re-enter the settings for the Disks. Alter the labels in the GPU settings skin to match what is in the HWiNFO for the retention settings.
UPDATE 2.0.7 - 2015-09-23: Added GPU settings to aid AMD graphics cards go a improve result on the GPU meter for memory. See below for caption. Made Weather Forecast toggle quicker. Added network external IP hibernate setting. Sometimes I screen share and wanted to hibernate my external IP. Fixed Deejay available MB tooltip calculation. I hope this update will be information technology for a while. If you copy the globalsettings.inc and HWiNFO.inc files from 2.0.5, merely brand sure yous click and fill up in the new options in Network Settings and GPU settings.
UPDATE ii.0.5 - 2015-09-xx: Only a couple of modest visual changes, I moved the CPU fan brandish, now the CPU/GPU/Disk temps will brandish correctly when y'all change from C to F and back in HWiNFO. I consolidated all settings for all skins to the globalsettings.inc file, and all HWiNFO settings for all skins to the HWiNFO.inc file. So, after installing this version, you tin salve these 2 files, upgrade to hereafter versions, and restore these 2 files and all meter settings and HWiNFO settings volition return. I had them in several unlike files before, making this process more difficult. I'll do my best to go along only these 2 files going forward to make restoring your settings easier. Cleaned upward the code and modulerized the CPUmem skins and variants to make changes to them easier.
UPDATE 2.0.2 - 2015-09-08: Pitiful, I plant a couple more bugs in the new Deejay Settings skin where you could non enter IDs. All fixed now. I hope that's it.
UPDATE ii.0.1 - 2015-09-08: Oops, missed the Disk temps on D: and H:, at present fixed.
UPDATE 2.0.0 - 2015-09-07: added Deejay temps and a settings peel to enter the sensor IDs and turn them on/off, cleaned up some code and settings files for other skins.
UPDATE one.9.5 - 2015-09-07: added on/off switch for the CPU fan
UPDATE 1.nine.4 - 2015-09-06: every bit requested, added CPU fan, added CPU Mhz by HWiNFO or PerfMon, settings * now machine hide, added a few tooltips for more information. Okay, I think I have added enough to these skins for awhile. The settings skins are starting to get out of command. :-) Enjoy.
