Dashboard - Keep an eye under the hood of your pc!

Nice script.

Can I integrate this into my project ?

You mentioned something about window transparency, why not just put WinSetTrans($GUI, "", 200)?

thanks for that ... i am actually wanting to add a way to increase and decrease the transparency once the program is running via clicking on the gui or using a slider bar or something like that or a way to minimize the gui to just the title bar for the times when i need to see the full screen

Lol. I kinda already intergrated it into mine... I meant to ask... But never got round to it! Gosh! *rolls eyes* Can I use it in my Shell OS? All due credit will go as given

Great script! Very useful, but I did notice a few things.

1) The CPU bar repeatedly peg out OVER 100% as the workstation was under load. It should 118% at one point :S

2) Support for additional drives would be awesome. I have a crap load of hard drives, removable media (thumb drives), network drives, etc. A Read/Write on them would be cool

3) Temp and fan monitor would be cool also

4) Network bandwidth/utilization indicator would be cool to.

Otherwise good job. Thanks!

Hey all,

i just want to share with you what i have put together for my laptop and desktop ... i call it 'dashboard' as its function is similar to the car dashboard where there are lots of dials to inform you of what is going on under the hood eg. water temperature and so on

Dashboard will help you see if you have enough ram by seeing if your pc uses a large swapfile, it will enable you to see how heavy your cpu usage is, it will help you see how hard your hard disk is working and so on ...

Nice. How do you exit?

It shows 99% battery when *checks his wire database* plugged in.

I like the CPU meter

Great application. One thing, when its running on my win xp machine it constant polls the floppy drive thus making it a very noisy application. Can you switch the floppy drive check off ?

[Ttech]

CAn get this to doc to the sitebar?

Yeah, but the Exit button will be nice...

Hi Serge,

Your question about resizing the GUI depending on the amount of disks detected

Replace your Gui Length of 400 with $length

Add the following above $gui

$Length = "383"
$Disks = DriveGetDrive("All")
$MP = $disks[0]
$Length = ($Length + ($MP*17))

Futher your GUI is to small for my large disks

Great script but it eats my memory

Can you check it?

to exit, just press the ESC key on your keyboard, not sure what this refers to *checks his wire database*

ps sorry for not replying sooner, i was not notified by the forum that my post had new messages ... it did at the start but not anymore

ggrr! i read your post and took me a few seconds/minutes to realize you answered the previous post ... sorry!

umm ... not sure about that one ... i use it on my desktop that has a floppy and it is not an issue ... am running xp home edition ... i vaguely remember something about a windows settings that disables the checking of the floppy disk ... perhaps you could look into that?

thanks for that ... will see if i can implement it

what do you mean by 'your GUI is to small for my large disks'? do you have lots of disks and the gui is not long enough?
