A very simple CPU and GPU temperature monitor for the system tray

Fergo TrayTemperature

A very simple CPU and GPU temperature monitor for the system tray.

Tons of other softwares already provide this functionality, but I wanted something that specifically only displayed the temperatures in the system tray without any additional user interface or other overheads.

Features

• Minimalistic text display, matching default Windows 10 tray icon style
• Real-time CPU and GPU temperatures
• Customizable text colors for each temperature range (low, mid high)
• Customizable refresh interval
• Basic logging functionality
• Celsius and Fahrenheit supported
• Tooltip with statistics (average, minimum, maximum)

Usage

Just run TrayTemperature.exe and a tray icon will be added displaying the CPU temperature (top) and GPU temperature (bottom).

The application requires elevated priviledges in order to properly acquire the sensor data.

.NET Framework 4.8 is required.

Customization

To customize the temperature ranges and their different colors, edit the following section in the TrayTemperature.exe.config file:

<setting name="CPUMed" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ffff00</value>
</setting>
<setting name="CPULow" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ffffff</value>
</setting>
<setting name="CPUHigh" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ff0000</value>
</setting>
<setting name="CPUTempMed" serializeAs="String">
	<value>65</value>
</setting>
<setting name="CPUTempHigh" serializeAs="String">
	<value>80</value>
</setting>
<setting name="GPULow" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ffffff</value>
</setting>
<setting name="GPUMed" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ffff00</value>
</setting>
<setting name="GPUHigh" serializeAs="String">
	<value>#ff0000</value>
</setting>
<setting name="GPUTempMed" serializeAs="String">
	<value>60</value>
</setting>
<setting name="GPUTempHigh" serializeAs="String">
	<value>85</value>
</setting>

If you click Quit, the application will close immediately." even if I continue with the warning, the app crashes within seconds or minute. It also lacks the feature startup on boot.

[Feature Request] Could you please add support for 4K monitors?

This tool is so great and it's exactly what I was looking for, but it's very hard to read on a 4K monitor, due to scaling issues I assume. Could the text be sized up or increased in resolution somehow? Thanks for all the work you've done.

[Feature Request] Add option to change font size and/or family

Hey there, I'm loving this now that I don't have to run CoreTemp and other things in order to just display temperatures.

I wanted to ask if there's the possibility of adding a feature to change the font size or font family within the .config file, as the numbers are a bit hard to read for me and I thought it'd be a neat feature.

Thanks again for releasing this publicly, it's incredibly useful and is exactly what I've been looking for for a while.

Cheers!
