OMWeather also sets this. Ideally, this would be set in the Configuration Screen (based on LOCALE).

I like it a lot.

It doesn't tell about swap usage though, nor CPU usage. Some people use load-applet for this (with the 2 bars), but this shows realtime usage.

The entries appear to be clickable while unclickable options are normally grey. So it should be in an info box, or greyed out.

It is also a little bit slow before the information pops up.

I'm not a python programmer by any means but by copying the RAM stuff by 412b, I quickly made this:

It doesn't hide automatically however when swap is disabled (I need to read up on python's if statements usage)

<solved>When I try to install this it says it's missing a couple of application packages. python2.5-hildondesktop and hildon-desktop-python-loader.</solved>


Yeah, silly me, a simple apt-get fixed that... Never mind

I think it's gonna be GPL or FreeBSD License. You can modify it in any way, but leaving the copyright. May be your needs would be community-wide and implemented in this app

On n810 it's as it was before. Just working

Also, I think something like acmonitor would be cool incorporated into this. acmonitor lets you have different backlight levels (and baclight settings) for plugged in and running on batteries. I'd like to see cpu governor added to that list, so I could have performance when plugged in, and ondemand for battery usage. Maybe go another step and change it to powersave when the battery gets low.
All the configuration stuff will be implemented later (including localization and regional stuff, I guess).

Yeah... Gonna fix it in 0.2.20

If swap usage is needed, I can implement it easily in kind of way qwerty12 did it with some difference (code changed a bit in 0.2.19).

About clickable entries... Well, it becomes hardly readable in grey. So it's hard to figure out the best way. I'm testing different solutions.

Popup is speeded up in 0.2.19

When current cpu demand does not require max cpu speed, will “conservative” arrive at idle at the same time that “ondemand” arrives at idle?

If yes, then "conservative" is the better setting when on battery.

guessing that some brainiac over at nokia turned it of by default if running on a N800 then. grumble...

iirc, ondemand goes straight to max clock, then steps downwards.

conservative steps upwards, then goes straight to min clock.
