Have you seen this software??

I was browsing the net the other night and I came across a screen shot of some guys desktop and it the bottom right corner were the stats for the box, e.g. cpu% memory useage, eth0 bandwidth in use etc. It was setup to look like text written straight onto the desktop, bit like a HUD.

Unfortunately I lost the url where I saw this so have no idea what it was, does anybody know what program it is???

There is a program available for KDE that does that called superkaramba.

That looks like the software used to produce what I saw, maybe that is what the author of the desktop used??

Thanks

Well, there are two pieces of software that do what you describe. One, as mentioned by pdeman2 is superkaramba and the other is gkrellm: http://members.dslextreme.com/users/...m/gkrellm.html.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Rick

I am running gkrellm now but it is completely different to what I saw. and as I said in the previous post superkramba is the program you would use to produce what I saw

Imagine writing in text "CPU 75%" directly onto the desktop, no window, borders or anything else, thats how it looked.
