Graphs for Tray Icons? (Like task manager)

[JacobGardiepy]

Is there possibly a way to use graphs for tray icons like utility, otherwise it probably wouldn't be so useful for temperatures right? I've just been going through and adding the appropriate colors for all the analytics in Task Manager. I'm a producer/audio-engineer and like to keep an eye on my PC, since I don't have multiple monitors yet I can't analyze the specs off HW or task manager all the time, and I just don't always trust all the PC meters coming out of FL studio so I trust the taskbar instead. I used the analytics off CoreTemp and the CPU utility graph in Task Manager for years, but I'm tired of being blind to all the S.M.A.R.T metrics I need to see. I was gonna color code the background for the utility ones, and do the letters instead with a transparent background for temperature. It would be nice if there was a way to use graphs for all the main utility specs (CPU, RAM, GPU) is there some sort of plugin or third-party method of achieving this? Is it possibly already a feature in a version of HWiNFO I don't have yet?

Of course, I sincerely appreciate anyone's provided time or insight. It's an amazing program, and I'm stoked to have stumbled across support like this

This is not possible with HWiNFO. Since tray icons are very small, such graphs in the notification area would be hardly recognizable.

Maybe I used the wrong phrase pertaining to the tray icons, truth is I don't really know what to call it. I like to think of it as a "bar graph," but the icon doesn't log information like a traditional graph either. I probably should've already clarified that, hopefully this picture helps (Task Manager bar on the very right). I was just wondering if there's a way to use the tray icon meters as bars instead of numerical ones (even a hybrid setup where it could transfer at a custom set point would be very cool). You are definitely right about the icons being small, especially since I have mine on the small setting (sorry about the quality), and maybe that's why it's easier for me to read a bar instead of a value. Most of the time I'm tweaking all these audio plugins, I'll take a quick glance to see how my PC is doing but I'm just trying to keep the workflow going.

Anyways, thanks for the response chief

Yes, I understood what you mean and responded according to that.
Such graphs are not possible but you can configure the digits to change color based on a threshold.

 

[JacobGardiepy]

Well, even if it ain't now don't you think it could be?
Alright, so how would I do that? Is it in alerts? Can I use multiple thresholds/colors? Do you have a good source you can point me to?
Would it just be easier to find a different program? It's gotta be possible somehow, take pride in using HWiNFO and I respect you Martin but I don't know if you'd say the same for me.
I won't waste anymore of your time then, never had much luck on forums anyways
