Sharing a funky gauge w/ you...

I think the default CPU Meter Gadget sucks. I have, instead, for a long time, been using the ALL CPU Meter. To it I have, also, been using Core Temp so the core temps would, also, show on the ALL CPU Meter. Was a wee bit of a pain, few steps to enable this part w/ any boot-up. Well, I've just found a really funky (& better) solution... Gives, @ least, all the same stuff & options but, (now) the core temps are there, also, on the gauge, inherently, w/out any additional 'steps' needed to have them showing. Take a look. You can find it here as, Core Temp Gadget 2.7:

I quite like the Carbon Fiber option for its colour.
