CoolerCast 0.6.0

Highlights

• A new settings window, in the style of the Windows 11 settings: a sidebar with Overview, Display, Custom value, Display off, Alarm and General; a larger, glowing preview of the cooler display with what it shows right now; and settings as cards with a short explanation. It follows the Windows text size, high contrast and transparency effects settings, and reopens on the last page you used.
• Temperature and usage at once: turn on Bar shows the usage and AK displays show the temperature on the digits and the usage on the bar.
• Display off: the display can go dark while the PC is locked, while the screen is off (Windows), or every night between two times.
• Smart device: shows the graphics card while it is busy (for example while gaming) and the processor otherwise.

All of it is also in the tray menu and in coolercast set (bar, source=smart, off_when_locked, off_when_screen_off, off_at_night, night_start, night_end).

Install

Windows 10/11: run coolercast-windows-x64.msi. Updating from an earlier MSI keeps your settings. The file is not code-signed yet: if SmartScreen warns, choose More info → Run anyway.

Linux: download coolercast-linux-x86_64.tar.gz, extract it and run sudo coolercast/install.sh. On Linux the display can be turned off on a night schedule; locking and screen-off detection are Windows only.

See the README for details. SHA256SUMS.txt lists the checksums of every file.
