I'm having a hard time trying to make some themes display my cpu temp. Can you superkaramba guys explain to me how does it work, which themes are you using, or yet better, post here the specific lines that do the trick?

I'm trying to edit the theme, so as to include the name of the temp monitor that appears under the sensors command. Is that right?

Thanks!

Here's the relevant line from my config:

bar x=54 y=144 w=110 h=20 vertical=false path="image/bar_7c.png" sensor=program program="cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/temperature | awk '{print $2}'" max=70 interval=10000

(this is all one line)

So you define a sensor=program and extract the temperature from the /proc interface. The `awk '{print $2}'` just prints a number, which is used by superkaramba to decide how much of the image to display. You can also do everything else that you want with that number, like display it or use it for other scripts.
