RejZoR: The way I look at it, anyone that is computer literate enough to be interested in the core temperature of their processor is not going to be too scared to go and give that little button in the top right corner of RealTemp a poke to see what happens. Especially if they've seen a screen shot or two with other information being displayed there. At your suggestion, I made it a little bigger and I think it looks great and is reasonably intuitive. No long term users of RealTemp have ever approached me and said, "Well holy s-h-i-t, I had no idea what that little button did." I like the present cleaned up look.

I've also noticed when booting up that the System Tray icons can get spread apart but that's more of a Windows / multi core processor issue / bug. The only thing I can think of doing with RealTemp is put in a user selectable delay feature so their system would have more time to boot up before RealTemp tried to add its system tray temperature icons.

A quick fix is to open up RealTemp when this happens, click on the Settings button and then cycle one of your displayed cores off and back on to get the tray icons lined up properly. You could also go get a nice new Quad core processor. Throwing money at a problem is always a good idea.

Can you not use Task Scheduler to add a small amount of delay before RealTemp starts or can it not be adjusted to a small enough amount of delay time?

gbeans99: I did a similar test to yours where I had the logging feature at 180 seconds / 3 minutes and my log looks fine. The date is on each line as it is supposed to be now.

Always wanted an excuse to use those code tags!

You can see that a person really needs a Quad core processor to surf the net. Core3 touched like 37C.
