Do you have access to any applets which allow you to run a command from which to get the data to be displayed? If so, you or someone else could write a script to get the exactly information you need.

For example, I used to have the output from this displayed on one of my bars:

Code: Select all

read < /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input
printf "%3d\u00b0C" "${REPLY%[0-9][0-9][0-9]}"

It accessed a file via SYSFS ('/sys') appropriate for my system, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work with yours.

Psensor works well for me. It's in the repositories apt install psensor It sits in the system tray, you can view all the temps by clicking the tray icon, or you can bring up its main window, which is fairly small with a graph.
