-= LAPTOP TEMPERATURE MONITOR =-

---

Laptop Temperature Monitor is a little applet for the GNOME desktop that shows the temperature of your CPU on screen. It also allows you to log temperatures to a file. You can set alarms to notify you when a tempertature is reached. Several monitors can be added to the panel to monitor different sensors. It is designed to look like CPU Frequency Gnome applet, so they match each other on panel.

Laptop Temperature Monitor is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
