Challenge for software writers

[Lysander]

Don't know if this is the place to post it or if anyone out there writes software - there must be some of you.

Basically I am dying for a Vista sidebar gadget that displays the CPU temp. I take it this would not be that hard to do though obviously I have no idea. Anyone up for it?

Thought I'd seen one in the list if you check online for more.

But you need Everest, which isn't free.

You can use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to retrieve the CPU temperature. This is easy to do in .NET as it has a nice managed class that wraps up all the WMI stuff. If you're writing it using Win32 API's you have my best wishes...
