By plugin, my wants are:

Command Line
User configurable fonts in cmdlinskin.ini
Aliases & Shortcuts displayed as default tooltip content

Drive Space
Please, please, please make it skinable!

Mail Monitor
Drag and drop adding of email addresses to categories (e.g. friends, spam).
Option to turn off warning dialogs.
User configurable font/colour/position/style for email number.

System Monitor
Same reply as for Drive Space. Please, please, please make it skinnable!

TLB Clock
Multiple digits.png file support.
Optional prefix of 12hr display with zero. e.g. Show "01" instead of "1".

Weather Monitor
Support for multiple digits.png files.
Allow all parameters to be text OR graphical.
Parsing conversion to text for HTML characters (e.g. &amp, &deg, etc.).

Sure, more will come to me, but it's a start!

I think drive space skinning would be nice, but I have been hoping system monitor would be updated for skinnability for a while now. There is still one other program I still use to monitor mem/swap/cpu that an updated system monitor would make obsolete like all the other programs that TLB took over Big Grin .

Hello Yuri
We can not make the System Monitor 2.0 work at all. We did not have the v1.0 installed. So we tried the v1.0 and it works well. We then deleted v1.0 and rebooted and again tried v2.0 and it only looks like the shot below. There are no skins available except the 'default'. The skins are in their own folder under System Monitor.

wow, looks great Yuri!

One question: is it possible to adjust the frequency of readings? ex. if I want to make the skin "CPU History (line) 16" shorter, but the line goes by too rapidly and off the graph before I would like. I haven't done skins except for modifying slightly so it may be in there.

Also, I'm looking at the skin "CPU History (line) 16", but the waveform looks like its changing as it scrolls through. I took some screenshots at different time periods to post here, but when I look at them, the waveform looks the same.

Use UP DOWN arrows to select skin. This bug will be fixed in the final release.

Thank you Yuri, it works well. See below.

One note - When displaying the tooltips on mouse hover the tooltip displays across both monitors in the full width. This is only for the System Monitor plugin. We are using two monitors side by side.

When you have selected the plugin as new, click OK and install it. Then right-click on the plugin and select properties and then only try the down arrow key on your keyboard several times. You will then see the different skin options. Our screenshot has three System Monitors working at once - each with a different skin.

Unfortunately, this isn't the problem I am having Sad

I can see all the skins except the one I have created. I've read the readme over and over, and checkrd the ini file several times. Still no luck Sad

A suggestion for Turn Off Computer:

The possibility to run some programs on shutdown, in a way like Xecutor does. This proggie however asks again for the type of shutdown, which is unneccessary.

System Monitor shows version 0.0.0.0 in the TLB System Information dialog, however I have 1.0.0.0 installed...
Kind regards,
Cornelis
