Hi,

is there a way to have the desktop modules monitor each core of multicore CPUs ?

And unrelated:

Graph doesn't fit the percentage:

Not currently, sorry.

Modules are in for a huge overall soon (improve what is already there, add new modules) but that will have to wait for a release after the Theme Builder.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Actually you pointing this out gave me an idea to make the bar value changes more fluid and smoother (like the needle gauges do currently, they don't 'jump' between different values every second, instead they smoothly accelerate and decelerate between values).

Apologies, only had the opportunity to look closely at this now.

There are actually two issues at play here: one has to do with the theme itself, as it's using a multi-state image with 10 frames instead of a simple progress bar (in reality, for some strange reason, it's actually using both, but the progress bar is not even visible on top of the multi-state image, so it's just wasting CPU cycles).

More likely than not I simply didn't notice the two were enabled when putting that theme together.

The second issue is indeed a bug in the code, which displayed the wrong multi-state image (e.g.; it displayed frame 2 when it should display frame 1 and so on).

The second issue has been fixed for next release.
