CPU-Center
Henning Vestergaard Poulsen


This Widget shows:
- The three most active processes
- CPU-usage
- Load Averages
- Uptime
- Battery state
- Airport signal strength

The processes and CPU usage turn red from green in a gradient corresponding to the usage.

Load averages, uptime, battery info, and Airport info can be disabled and enabled in Preferences.

Besides there is a red kill-button next to each of the processes. Very clever!

Battery info,
Airport info,
more cusomizable,
kill button ("Force quit").

I'm having the same problem with the strike-through-like bug, but aside from that, this is a great Widget. Also, I heard something from Arlo about a button that brings Activity Monitor to the front. I'm really interested in that.

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

I'll try to make the color scheme more customizable. The text bug I'll try to fix by letting the widget update the header text every time it updates.

But shortly the widgetgallery will include my update to the widget which shows a little more info and it's turn-off-able. Besides there is one handy function that I haven't seen elsewhere. You'll see what it is, when the gallery is updated. I have uploaded the widget, but I don't know how often the gallery is updated.

Very nice, very handy, very unobtrusive. Though I would like the ability to set my own color scheme (I know the green-yellow-red scheme is used to indicate resource usage), as I have light blue backgrounds and with the bg opacity set to zero (as I like it), the text is difficult to read. And there seems to be a rendering problem with the CPU/RAM/Process line, there almost appears to be a strikethrough on it. But otherwise I am very happy with this widget, it's always on my desktop.
