This is the latest version of the steampunk thermometer yahoo widget.
I've rejigged it a bit to suit my ideas a little better then the
previous version. I've changed the background pattern on the
thermometers to use the same wood effect as the steampunk clock, to the
pattern known as burloak.
I've also reduced the left hand brass toggles in size, moved the bell
and crank down, reduced the size of the right hand size thermometer,
added a satin sheen to the wood, and changed the gradients applied to
some of the metal components. I'm starting to think about starting to
add some code it so that it actually starts to do something...
I've not been happy to start the coding as the thermometer just didn't
look quite right for me. also, now I have found out that there is no
simple method of extracting the temperatures from a Windows system I
have become a tadge disheartened with the idea. I will have to use a
separate program 'speedfan' that is designed to specifically to dig out
the temperatures from a number of varying motherboard designs.
