How to get CPU Usage Histogram or Bar w/advanced skinning

Is there any trick to getting the histogram or bar CPU meter to display when using advanced skinning? I set width/height, position and color, yet nothing appears. The Task list and CPU % do display something.

Is it possible they don't work on a Quad-core processor?

Under advanced skinning what do you have in the histogram section? Did you click on the image of the graph to turn it on?

No, I didn't have it pushed :oops:

There are a lot of different ways to turn things on & off in your interface. This is one I hadn't used yet

Gee, it works now. Is my face red enough??

I've noticed this, too. But I know Jorge is working on totally new Prefs interfaces That'll hopefully make these things a little bit more standardized.

Yes, definitely. That NeXT-style GUI might have been a nice novelty back in 1998, but now it just looks confusing and out-dated.

However, re-vamping the whole interface is a daunting task - and the plan is to make things in such a way that the Interface can be localized (i.e. work with different language packs). Monster job. :roll:
