These numbers are hexadecimal and seem to indicate the percentage of fanspeed, so 0x64 is 100% fan speed. I don't know if temperature thresholds are included, I don't think so.

!! Font settings
Thanks to [http://blog.xam.dk/archives/81-Making-Eclipse-look-good-on-Linux.html]
{{{
After they are installed I ran gnome-font-properties and used the following settings:
Application/Document/Desktop font: Liberation Sans, size 8
Window title font: Liberation Sans Bold, size 10
Fixed with font: Liberation Mono, 10
Font rendering: Best contrast (the others left weird artifacts, but mostly up to taste here I think)
Under details:
Resolution: 99 dpi (to avoid the letters to get too close, need at least 1 px between them
Smoothing: Grayscale
Hinting: Full
Depending on your Eclipse font settings the above will be enough,
but if you already have tweaked some settings remember to check your Font settings under Eclipse preferences
and verify that you are actually using the System default or the Liberated fonts to get the smoother more compact look.
