TaskbarMonitor 1.0.0
First public release.
Minimalist hardware monitor pinned to the left corner of the Windows 11 taskbar, on every screen:
- CPU / GPU / RAM / disk: load and temperature, color-coded (yellow >= 70 C or 85% load, red >= 85 C or 95% load)
- Network: upload/download per second, compact 3-digit format
- Transparent background — numbers drawn straight over the taskbar, light/dark theme aware
- Stable fixed-grid layout (values never jitter), per-monitor DPI support
- Hides automatically while a fullscreen game/video covers a screen, per screen
- Autostart at logon via elevated Scheduled Task (needed to read CPU/disk temperatures)
