Feature Requests

Check out "System Tray Balloon Tips and Freeing Resources Quickly in .NET" by Paul DiLascia - it is in MSDN library that comes with VS .NET 2003 (or find it on the microsoft web)...

From the article:
"There are two kinds of tips associated with tray icons: an ordinary old-style tooltip that appears when the user moves the mouse over your tray icon and the newfangled balloon tip that appears when directed by your program."

The ballon popup is just what we need. The article shows the easy way to implement it. It is prettier then the regular popup but requires an action to activate - simple click/doubleclick on the tray icon should do the trick...

Feature requests (for hardware monitoring use):

1) add an option to disable the monitoring tray icons

2) add an option to start systool minimized (so it can start normaly with windows and go imediatly to tray)
Click to expand...

Just realised systool has the second option. But every time it starts it brings up that "Dial up connection" dialog for my internet connection :mad:

hmm problem .. looks like you cant replace the trayicon tooltips, nor be notified when windows shows the tooltip .. so i guess the show sensors data on mouseover is not possible ..
any other ideas?

I use a nice little program called I9kfanGui based on I8KFanGUI. It has readings in mouseover. I don't know if the source is available but I think it's GNU based.
 
it can display a custom tooltip on mouseover over the systray icon?
 
I believe so. A square mouseover bubble appears that has CPU temp. GPU temp. HD temp. Dimm temp. etc. It also displays up to 2 temps as a single stacked Icon. I'd show a screenshot but don't know how in this instance.

Decided not to be lazy and look into that... Dont see the problem ;)
Shell_NotifyIcon and the NOTIFYICONDATA enable you to set the tooltip - NOTIFYICONDATA has a member szTip -> Pointer to a null-terminated string with the text for a standard ToolTip... Or maybe I am wrong...
 
Any chance you can add a button to enable disable all those temp readings from showing in the toolbar. Am using the output to samurize method now to have a nice display and its annoying with a bloated taskbar.

;)
 
Have a different refresh rate for the cpu load plugin so that it can be set to 1ms while keeping the other sensors refreshing at a more conservative 5ms. I tried 1ms for all sensors and it does work ok but im not sure about the long term concequences of this. :cool:

I got this PLL from someone, it's for an inspiron XPS gen 2 with the 915 chipset, maybe you can do something with it.....

I've also got one of these machines. A Inspiron 9300 (same as XPS2). Support would be amazing.
 
What about a Auto read for when you go into the mem timings and cpu oc? So it displays it without needing to press read. I don't know, maybe I am just lazy. :p

-Dan
 
cant do it for cpu oc because it might crash/destabilize or user has just no chip selected

i can do it for mem timings .. *adds it to the todo list in the wiki*
 
Hmm never thought about that...but couldn't you program it so it ony does it when a clock gen is selected?

-Dan
 
hmm but if its the wrong one and it crashes the system, the user will never be able to select another one
 
Ya true. :(

-Dan
 
Please, can you add support for the ClockGen Cypress CY28330 on a fsc d1607 Board ?

poorly a AGP/PCI Fix does not exist for this Board..

There is a working clockgen vserion for this board...but i like your SysTool much more :)

Please can you do something about all temps showing in a big long line in taskbar. Its the only reason why i dont leave systool running during normal use. And why i use speedfan instead even though it shows the wrong 12v and 3.3v voltage readings.

If other people here dont like it to please say so that it might get changed.
 
Hi!

This a great application :)

Older chipset support would be great (like i845, nf2 )...
 
ganz read the "how to get monitoring" thread in the forums here, do what it says and you should get your monitoring support pretty fast
 
How about a feature that tell you your highest and lower votage value. Cause when I was looking at my voltages on my PSU, it was hard to tell what value I was getting from the graph. Like its easy to see what your current/normal voltage is cause it tells you and its a easy to see line on the graph, but when it drops you can't tell waht it droped too. Maybe have a little thing in the corner of the graph that just says highest and lowest values =.

like he said older chipsets would be awsome i whanted to use this so BAD but im running an MSI-MS-6378.....neddless to say its not supported :( .......
 
i would like...

an integrated ATI tool would be nice. and you know how the ATI tool finds max memory and cores by increasing the frequency slowly and running the 3D image at the same time? well why not do that increasing frequency slowly with the FSB and maybe even a Core CPU clock overclocker! Maybe even also do it for the RAM, PCI Bus Frequency, PCI-E Bus frequency, PCI-E X16 frequency maybe even AGP frequency. and you know how the ATI tool has the graph with the Core GPU temperatures? why not do that not just for the GPU but the CPU as well (if it has a sensor of course), a fan control tool as well for the GPU fan like in ATItool but also for the CPU fan. also maybe a little thing with tips on how to be able to achieve higher stable frequency's, by adding, changing fans, heatsinks etc. and an automatic detection for which clock gen you should use. an automatic detection of your CPU and it's specs like intel does with some of their processors with their identifying tool. And you know all the features in the Intel Desktop Control Center (see an interactive flash thing for it here at http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/dcc/) those would be good in it except remove the lid they put on the FSB adjustment (+/- 30% (800mhz+30%=1040mhz)) play around with the tool because it's pretty neat.
 
i think if we could have some support for my HP xw4300 workstation thats coming in soon (see my signature) because HP makes their own boards but still very high quality like Intel boards
 
Clockgen for my current computer

my current intel 848 computer (until i get my new computer) isn't supported i think i found it's clock gen is H14.318H3 it's an HP d530C so as i said before HP makes their own motherboards
 
If i find my xw4300's clockgen where should i post it?
