ClearInfo 0.48 for beta testing

[zivan56]

As some of you may remember before I was making a monitoring program called ClearInfo. I sort of gave up on it until recently, it now has auto update, cpu usage is now percentage, detects your cpu (almost any that exist), html output, skins, new settings dialog, etc. Anyways, if somebody feels like beta testing it, please leave a comment about what you think or what else I should add. Also, if you find a bug, leave information about your OS and setup. Hope everybody enjoys it :D

Website for ClearInfo here

EDIT: I forgot it add its only for Win2k/XP, but it might work on 98.

Anybody test it? (come one ppl where is your beta testing spirit :D )

[Guest Dclanz]

I've downloaded it. Will use it for a couple of days and get back to you.:)

[zivan56]

great :)

If you cant seem to drag it when it is transparent, use the bar that says ClearInfo. And to save the location, right click on the bar or system tray icon and click save location.

[Guest Dclanz]

Running smoothly here. You can add an option to change the font/colour (i usually use dark backgrounds so it's kinda hard to see:P ) and make a really cool tray icon.:bandit:

[zivan56]

I will add the option to change the font/color today. The tray icon will be kinda hard to make since I am not good at making graphics, if anybody wants to make one, I will put their name in the about dialog. Thanks for the suggestions.

[Guest Dclanz]

That's great man. If you'd like...you can check out Dazzla or 1 of the other Neowin icon masters for a new icon.:rambo:

[zivan56]

Good idea,

If anybody wants to make one just send me a PM and we will discuss it :)

[zivan56]

I have just released 0.461 BETA,

Now you can change the font, color, and size :)

You can download it using the same link on the first post, or use the auto update.

[Guest Dclanz]

Great! Thanx man. Now I can put up that Erica Eleniak...umm *cough* dark background that I wanted to.:ditsy:

[zivan56]

lol, no prob,

Anybody else have any comments/suggestions?

[Tim Dorr Veteran]

tried it out, but I don't think it will be replaceing coolinfo for a while. It just doesn't display enough usefull info or have enough customizability yet. But keep working on it and it should be really good!

[zivan56]

Thanks for the comment Timdorr,

It will never replace CoolMon because I dont want to copy them, however it will have its own unique features which will be added as it starts getting closer to 1.0

[Guest Dclanz]

Found a little glitch Z. Whatever colour I change the font to...the text next to Virtual Memory remains black.

Eg.

Virtual Memory (whatever color): 192/315mb (always black)

Just my 2 cents, but it may be better to remove Name which displays the computer's name and put User to show who's currently logged on.

[zivan56]

Dclanz,

Fixed the problem and changed the name: person logged on. Just look at the link below. The auto update will not solve the error, only re-download the zip files and installing will. Btw, is your processor detected correctly?

EDIT: Try this link since the host caches the files.

[Guest Dclanz]

lol...I realized that when I downloaded it from the 1st link you posted. I went straight to the website on the 2nd try. My processor speed is 551 but it's saying 552. That's not really a big deal. Also the autoupdate kept freezing whenever I tried to d/l 461 earlier. I haven't tried it again since I've got the latest now. But all in all...everything's cool now.:cool:

[zivan56]

ok, what part did autoupdate freeze at? It might have just been downloading files and seemed to freeze. The CPU speed is estimated using ASM, so its okay to see up to a 20mhz difference.

[Guest Dclanz]

Upon downloading the update it froze and I had to end the process with taskmanager (XP). Everything's looking good at this point but if you add any new features to a future build I'll let you know how it runs.:bandit:

Why does this application get that much attention?

Nobody cares about my application when I post it, not even 1 comment. :(

[zivan56]

I'm not sure why, but it might have somthing to do with the title of your topic, or you should have said that you are open to suggestion, thats my 2 cents.

well, as long as I can integrate the two and not have to worry about resource hogging...

maybe a "silent" mode that only runs as a service and outputs the stuff to a file to be read into coolmon. Then I can pipe out of coolmon into my sig and web-system stats :D

[zivan56]

What type of output would you want? XML? PHP variables? INI files :D ?

[zivan56]
