SysInfo (MP dashboard) (1 Viewer)

[joz]

Just to throw it out there.

Wouldn't it be cool if this was a process plugin showing up on basichome or something? Could this be done? Maybe if styled nice. Dunno how it's done graphics wise but would be nice if it's skinnable somehow. Kinda like the vista gadget?

Yes, I'm doing a process plugin from this. You can then have some of the info at any window via tags.

But the problem now is how to fetch data from process plugin to windows plugin - is Guipropertymanager only way??? Can somebody explain a bit, thanks.

Thanks for the streamedMP support! I can finally use this plugin.

One suggestion - fade the background image a bit - currently looking at the gages is difficult.

I don't know much about the plugin creation process, but why not have the process plugin simply write the info to a file (XML?) every so often, and then your window plugin just keep reading the latest info from this.

wouldn't make sense. Window plugins have there own "window" (like it is now).
I believe Manfred wants it like it can be displayed in any window (for instance home)

What do you mean "it woudln't make sence"? He was asking how to share data between process and window plugins. If both plugins use the same data source (xml file), then problem solved.

I'll take a closer look to the gauges these days ... maybe I'll change the black backround around the gauges with transparency

For me, I'd like to see the background gauge just go away, or faded significantly. It makes reading the other gauges very difficult.

Anyone thought of a digital readout instead of those gauges?
