Could someone tell me how to change the gkrellm monitor so that it will show me the temperature where I am instead of Sydney, Australia? Thanks.

edit: Never mind, I found the answer.

Gkrellm works on just about any desktop environment. It has addons for CPU activity, network activity, temperature monitoring, etc. Just depends on what all you want to monitor. With gkrellm, you can do all the functions with one widget.


You can also see your daily, weekly and monthly network bandwidth usage

I found the answer to my first question but now I have another one. Could someone tell me how to remove all the extra bars or whatever they are called on the bottom part of the widget? Here is a picture so you can see what I am talking about.





If I can I would like to remove all that stuff under the bar for the processor temp.--at least I am guessing that is what it is. Thanks.

I tried to resize the picture and got it a bit more narrow but it wouldn't resize as small as I tried to make it.

Go into the configuration and make sure they are not turned on (uncheck enable) for both the plugins and built-ins that you do not want to display

Thank you. I will see what I can do. Apparently some of the stuff I enabled is not working or isn't showing up anyway. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many blanks, would there?
