Busyhot panel applet monitors CPU load, temperature

By , Published September 4, 2010

Busyhot is a small Gnome panel applet which displays CPU load and temperatures in real time – direct on your panel.

The applet has support for up to 8 cores with a simply click on the applet revealing per-CPU percentages.

    Temperature is always on 0°C or…?

      Usually adding “coretemp” to the file /etc/modules will get the temperatures.

    Is there anyway to stop to percentage load values adding up? With 2 cores I get over 100% load if both are over 50.

    I’m using Docky Docklets for CPU monitoring.

    This is nice but why have the grey background at all and not transparent? Is it designed to match a particular distribution? I had it in my top and bottom panel without it matching. My temperature is stuck at “200-0C” too – yay, broken computer.

    Use Conky these applets take too much resources, Conky is light and works just fine for it.
