Describe the new feature you would like

Right now, selected temperature items are indistinguishable and messed up if there are many:

It would be cool if we could assign proper icons for them (they also could try to be assigned automatically).

Can you be more specific? What is "indistinguishable and messed up"? The screenshot looks correct to me. Are you asking for custom icons? If so, what would you have them be?

[bam80]

Indistinguishable in the sense I can't just quickly look at them and say which temperature is which.
Currently, I have to remember that first temperature I've added to the panel is NVMe Sensor 1, the second is Sensor2, then Processor0 and Maximum temperatures are follow.

As you can imagine, this is not what the user wants.

It would be much more easier to catch for eyes if these temperature items would have icons corresponding to their categories: CPU, Disk, etc., as it is in the menu already:

I would be glad to review a PR with specific temperature icons. I am not a graphics designer. It actually took me a while to source these icons.

[bam80]

I think existing icons from the screenshot above would suit fine.

Here is a GPU icon.

I agree with the principle of this issue (temperatures are indistinguishable in the panel). I also appreciate that generating/sourcing additional icons (and managing their use) could be more overhead than desired.

As an alternative suggestion, how about enabling a mouseover/hover tooltip for the sensor names (e.g. processor 0, nvme 1, nvme 2 etc from the screenshot in the OP)?

While it would be better than nothing, I think it's still not enough.
The idea is you should be able to easily distinguish the temperatures items just by looking at them, before you move mouse cursor to hover etc.
