Panzer Temperature Gauge Xwidget

Published:

Description

An interesting Panzer Temperature Gauge Xwidget - I created this for the World of Tanks and War Thunder communities. NEW.

The Panzer Temperature  widget is a pretty Xwidget for your desktop. It is a simple  Temperature Gauge. Functional and gorgeous at the same time. I partly based this widget upon my original U Boat yahoo widget clock.

I took the screenshot photo too. It looks like 1944 but it was more like 2004!

The widget can be resized - Hover the cursor over the widget. Press the CTRL key and use your mousewheel up or down. The widget will resize dynamically. Here is just one more of over 500 steampunk icons and widgets that I have created that will leave your Windows or Mac desktop looking absolutely spiffing. There is a whole set of the little thingies and I must say they do look very steampunk indeed! They really are a suitable replacement for the boring old default icons that come with Rocketdock/ObjectDock &c.

You will,  of course, need the Xwidget engine for this widget to run. Get the X engine here.   

  All javascript widgets need an engine to function, in this case the widget uses the Xwidget engine. The engine interprets the javascript and creates the widget according to the XML description and using the images you provide.

This widget will also need speedfan to operate, get it here: www.almico.com/sfdownload.php

* Speedfan  - why is it needed? The Windows operating system is meant to provide an interface to the motherboard and other components to provide system temperature information. Unfortunately it does not work well as there is no stable hardware specification for temperature sensors. The end result is that it is impossible for a Windows nor any widget to get the temperatures from all the myriad PC components in the world, so we all have to resort to third party applications that can do it. The best of the bunch is a good piece of software called Speedfan. Speedfan is pretty good at extracting temperatures for almost all PCs.

It is a fundamental requirement for this software to be installed for this widget to function. Get Speedfan here: www.almico.com/sfdownload.php

This widget works with Windows XP SP3, it has been tested on Vista, Windows 7/8  and 10. There is full help for this widget to be found here .
