CPU Monitor v1.3b1
Copyright ⌐ 1996 Jon Grieve
This beta release introduces a few bug fixes and enhancements:
- Performance data should be started and stopped correctly, so no
more (or, maybe, fewer) clashes with other applications reading
or writing performance data (i.e. Dial-Up Networking) should occur.
- Settings now has an option to include the usage in the tooltip of
the system tray icon. This was put in at user request, but isn't
perticularly helpfull, as the tooltip is only displayed when the
mouse has been left over the icon, and the text isn't updated when
visible. Therefore, the default for this setting is off.
- Added the Details window. This is where most of the work has been
done since the last release ... and where most of the remaining work
needs to be done before a full release. Current good and bad points
are:
- No code is in place to redraw the graph when it has been covered up
by another window (i.e. it needs painting).
- To reduce flicker, the method to add new data is to get Windows to
'scroll' the window to the left and simply draw what's required for
the new points -- i.e. the thin strip at the right end. This works
well most of the time, however, if the right hand end is hidden by
another window, the whole scroll process goes very wrong, and no
new details are drawn.
- Stay on top works well. Naturally, this gets round both the previous
problems.
- Stay on top setting is not saved and restored; the Details window always
starts with this setting off.
- Double click the graph to make it full screen. If possible, I'll try and
make the window sizable when in this mode at some point.
- The Detail window settings are mostly hard-coded at this point. The Settings
window has the stuff for changing the settings, but none of it does anything
yet, and so it's all disabled. Colour settings are obvious. The Rounding
settings force the values to be rounded to a certain amount. The default
is 5.
Please report any good or bad points to me. Thanks.
