    cpu temp monitor for system tray?

    Does anyone have a good app for monitoring cpu temp in the system tray? The default widget with the "gauge" stinks as far as I am concerned... I like to see the actual temp, and be able to have color changes, etc., like ksensors can do, but that is making the new 4.5 system tray act all wonky...

    Also, my global temp is ^F, but I would prefer this used ^C.

    You could try Bubblemon. Right-click sytem tray > Properties, select Bubblemon under "Extra items".
    In the Bubblemon properties, you can select from a wide range of sensors.
    Hover the mouse over the bubble to see the current value of the selected sensor (e.g. current temperature).

      Yeah, thanks... that is what I am using now, but I really just like seeing a green 35 or a red 70, etc.

        I use Simple CPU temperature. You can get it by searching in the panel widgets and installing it.

        I think it's what you're looking for.

          I do not have such a widget... did you install a special package for it

              Thank you very much. It is not quite as pretty as ksensors was, and i can't choose the exact sensor i want, but it is very, very close to replacing what i lost. Thanks again for the tip.

              Edit: Why I like ksensors better (not as easy to read, but I really only need to read it when it's red. I definitely like the dark gray background over the black, and the lines are kinda cool. I think square also looks better. The bubblemon would work ok if the darn thing would turn bright red when temps get high... and if it didn't report a %... that is lame for this purpose.):
