gatotray is a tiny CPU monitor displaying several stats graphically (usage, temperature, frequency) in small space, and tight on resources.

Features

• Goals: usability, lightness, looks, compatibility.

• Designed to run continuously and give a good idea of the CPU's status in a glimpse.

• Works in almost any Linux desktop, as long as it is Freedesktop compatible: XFCE, GNOME, GTK+, KDE, and more.

• It uses an innovative logarithmic time scale, providing an intuitive idea of CPU usage in reduced space. It looks good too. Colors vary with frequency and temperature.

• When available, temperature is represented in a thermometer, which blinks when too hot.

Tooltip shows current stats in text form.

• On click, it opens a 'top' window with detailed system usage.

• Preferences dialog allows customization of colors and options.

• Transparent background for better integration.
