I have been using gkrellm for at least the last 25 years or so. I very much like being able to see what my system is doing at a glance and no other system monitor comes close to being both as detailed and compact.
I used this back in the days and it was awesome. Sadly after the dawn of tiling window managers this is obsolete since you will never really see it as windows always takes full screen. If anyone knows how to make it play well with i3wm or awesome wm, let me know, would gladly use this again.
Does not help you but the question nerd sniped me to try it as an exercise in my preferred tiling WM spectrwm. https://github.com/conformal/spectrwm This lets it act as a sort of toolbar, present on all workspaces. in .spectrwmrc add #shrink the region by 112 to allow space for the widget region = screen[1]:2448x1440+0+0 #add quirk to remove from normal workspaces quirk[Gkrellm] = WS[-1] then start on right side of s…

Same here. One of my favorite plugins is BubbleFishyMon which seems funny (and it is: water, air bubbles, fishes and a duck indicating system/memory/network load), until one realizes how much information it can convey with just a brief glance.
Never in a way that doesn't noticeably chew additional CPU though, and definitely not for both use cases. It upsets me each time I reply "no, not happening without patches". Perhaps it is time to release an Electron version or one that just burns a whole CPU core so it isn't lost forever ;)
¹ It used to just be people with crazy setups, now it is basically any screen given their higher DPI.
² As it is right now I don't even have a system that I can use last release on.

Are you also still running fvwm or wmaker? It kind of integrates not so good in e.g. Gnome`s mutter, yeah?
What a blast from the past! Stoked it’s still under development! Had a look for the etymology of “Krell” - in the readme it mentions “GKrellM - keeping an eye on your computer’s Id”. Seems to be a reference to this 1956 movie, Forbidden Planet / Monsters from the Id: http://guidetomonsters.com/html/50s/Id%20Monster.html Can I get a fact check?
[1] can't find a mirror anywhere. But if anyone knows the "Industrial" theme, I'd love to know.
ah, nostalgia for that feeling working on systems that looked like that.

There's nothing to integrate, it just runs and sits there doing its job.
