CPUMeter Screenlet

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

7.3

Description:

This screenlet shows system average CPU load and current memory load in gauges, similar to the Windows Vista meter gadget. Here are the current features:
-Custom font selection and placement
-Animation settings for speed vs. efficiency
-Support for custom themes that can have specific settings for size, placement of needles, placement of text, and starting/ending ranges for needles

***If you have an idea for a theme, but do not know how to create it, post a mock-up image here and I may create it.

Any chance of getting the R8 theme tweaked a little? Changing the black to a dark blue and the red to orange? If someone could let me know how to do it on my own that would be preferable.

Either way, still love this screenlet. Thanks!

Very cool stuff!
But I got this weird bug!
My memory reading goes round the clock, now showing 2340.
Dunno when and why it started... it just did.
I reckon it'll be gone after restart... but I'm wondering how far it will go (to 32k probably)!

It seems to be that the memory text y position doesn't changeable. Or I am to stupid. :)

The cpu meter is really smooth. However, I noticed that RAM meter stays static with ocassional movement. Also, if you restart the screenlet it displays refreshed values.

Same here too. After a restart of the CPUMeter it works. Gnome system monitor also missing in this release (right mouse click).

Okay, download works now. The new animation is great (thumbs up), but there are some little bugs I have seen.

1) Sometimes the memory status are frozen.

2) The cpu dail can goes over 100% (I have seen 108%)

3) There are some alignment problems in the new vista svg theme.

4) On right click there are no gnome-system-monitor function.

Sorry for my english.

All the above bugs should be fixed, except the gnome-system-monitor function. Remember that this screenlet now has little to no code from previous CPU_Meter screenlets. It would be very simple to add though, I'll add it in the next release.
