Hi, htop author here: this brought a smile to my face! Wondering if I should do the same in htop's own website. Would be fun to follow the activity spike when the new major release comes later this year! Major kudos to the author for the idea!

Thanks! Every now and then I want to see individual CPU usage (usually when I want to check if a program is multithreaded) and I Google to find a way to do it. I always end up doing `sudo apt-get install htop`.

What did you do to stop the client from caching the background image?

Like this: https://gist.github.com/trampi/3eaf4a68a5e0a57aab05 If you have further questions you are welcome :-)

Would be more interesting if the background is live, like updating itself every second or half a second.
