Who knows, maybe with some luck it'll finally make it ported over properly. Always the first, since early 2006 when I first started using it and every installation since.

Menumeters alternative mojave install#

Like I told the author, MenuMeters is the first thing I install after a clean install of OSX/OSx86, without a doubt. I just wish it existed in a Linux-compatible format.

All the current system monitors in all the Linux distros I've tried (and ones that can be installed afterward) just flat out suck. Mac OS X Lion 10.7 is the eighth major release of Mac OS X is a completely different version from the for windows because it is a version that is totally based on the productivity. I don't want stuff 'on the Desktop' as I keep windows all over the place the Taskbar is perfect for that purpose and of all the status monitors I've ever seen, MenuMeters is beyond all of them by leaps and bounds. I'm no programmer but I can't imagine it would be that hard to create something that's practically the same.

I emailed the author of MenuMeters and asked his opinion on porting the app over to Linux since the source code is there for download (MenuMeters is a GPL app) but, haven't heard back. Yeah, I know all those other people use Conky, etc, was just hoping someone out there had more relevant info. Is it really that hard to create a tool with similar functionality on a Linux installation? I know the MenuMeters source code is freely available but, I'm not a programmer and I wouldn't have any clue where to start - not to mention it's written for the OSX platform (which is BSD derived, iirc so the potential for compiling it for Linux operation could be there).įor those more wise than I in the ways of Linux-fu, can anyone offer some tips or advice to get something that works just like MenuMeters, or some suggestions about how I might be able to best modify or create something for use with Conky or some other similar tool that would provide the same or almost the same functionality that MenuMeters does? I've looked over countless screenshots all over the place at a handful of forums and websites, and I've still never seen anything like MenuMeters on any Linux distro ever. I know I can just throw System Monitor up there on the panel but, it looks hideous, it's always just graphs, it won't display actual numbers/stats which are what I prefer, etc. I'm trying to locate something similar for Linux (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 as the base OS currently), but what I keep finding references to are Conky and other apps like it, and it seems (based on research) that Conky isn't designed for displaying the info in the the taskbar like MenuMeters does. So it offers a lot of functionality in a tiny app, but that's on OSX. I figure a click on the meter would bring up System Monitor anyway like the standard Gnome System Monitor panel applet does. I'm not really concerned with the flyout-stats (the larger window with the far more detailed information) but it would be useful as well. If I can get something that covers a few of those stats I'd be one happy camper, indeed. CPU activity/usage (displayed as percentage of max) 'LED' disk activity indicators (green is reading, red is writing) memory usage (as U: for used and F: for free) The MenuMeters representations are displayed directly in your status bar and you must choose to enable each menu individually: this way you have an extraordinary control over the displayed data.- network activity (as actual numbers for Tx and Rx as bytes/s) For example, you can change the default graph colors, size or style.

MenuMeters offers you the possibility to adjust the update interval for each menu and the individual menu panels provide further customization options. The app also allows you to combine different viewing modes. Additionally, MenuMeters can generate and activity graph.

Last but not least, the network activity can be conveyed by using arrow illustrations or by showing the throughput.

To help you analyze the memory usage, MenuMeters can generate usage charts, usage bars, a usage history graph or you can view used and free totals. MenuMeters can illustrate the disk activity using arrows, color arrows, lights, aqua lights or disk arrows (a large mode is included). The app also allows you to use various combinations: graph and percentage percentage and thermometer graph and thermometer or all three modes at the same time. The CPU meter can be expressed in different modes: percentages (for each core), graphs or thermometer. MenuMeters is a System Preferences pane that offers you the possibility to view information about your CPU, disk, memory and network activity via discreet menus placed in your status bar.įrom the MenuMeters panels you can enable the menus you want to have displayed in the status bar and make further customizations.
