System Monitoring • Re: HWiNFO | Resizable Gauges 4.1 [Important Bug Fixes]

Hi Ricardo,
have you ever thought about adding other elements to this?
I know that the main purpose is the gauges, but maybe bars would also be possible and not too different in coding (just a guess)?
Would be a pleasant variation to build the look of a monitoring panel.
Hey Nephi, as Yincognito already mentioned, that would require a certain amount of work.

However, the way I've designed the skin actually makes it possible since I'm already adapting the meter's position and size to each gauge design manually.

In theory it should be possible to create a bar "gauge", the main problem I can think of right know is that I would have to create a new set of state images for it as well as the bar designs, and of course add the coding to automatically assign those new state images when the bar designs are selected.
I'm mentioning images because the gauges are images, bars are certainly easy to make using meters but it would be easier to adapt if I use images instead, although this would make the skin bigger in size.

Another important thing to consider is, as Yincognito mentioned, the difference in dimmensions. The gauges are 300x300 and the bars would require to be rectangles instead of squares, which can make it difficult to achive a seamless transition when switching from the gauges to the bars and viceversa.

I have actually considered this in the past and it's possible, it just requires some work and I don't really have the time right now. Maybe after I release the colorable gauges, the themes creator and I feel there's no more important features to add I can spend some time experimenting on this, I also want to add more gauge designs as well.

Thank you for bringing this to the table, I might do a quick experiment on this over the weekend.
