💖 WMCUBE — like, the whole manual but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is wmcube from section 1 of the manual (the "3D object CPU Load display applet" one, if you're keeping track) and she is iconic. Let's get into it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

wmcube — a spinning 3D object that shows you your current CPU load. yes really. it just. spins. and tells you things. main character energy fr fr. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

wmcube [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options optional, drama mandatory. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so wmcube is a dockapp — you know, one of those lil guys that lives in your dock — and it displays a realtime rotating 3D object that tells you your current CPU load.

and here's the slay: the higher the load, the faster the object spins. 🔥

that's the entire mechanic. more work = more zoomies. lowkey genius, no cap.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

every single flag, present and accounted for, because we do not skip. periodt.

  • -o <filename> — load an external 3D object (a plugin). bring your own lil guy. 🧚
  • -d x — rotate x degrees per step when the CPU is idle (default 1).
  • -r x — rotate 1 degree faster every x percent of the CPU usage (default 25).
  • -c x — which CPU (0, 1, 2...) to monitor (default is the average over all of them).
  • -f — use smooth font (default OFF).
  • -n — exclude "nice" processes (default OFF).
  • -b — draw the cube in a brighter color (default OFF).
  • -i — invert cube speed (default OFF).
  • -p — do not display the CPU load (default OFF).
  • -R — use red image. 🔴
  • -G — use green image. 🟢
  • -B — use blue image. 🔵
  • -h — display this help.

🌈 TIPS & TRICKS 🌈

okay this part is the fun part, the iykyk part. 💜

by combining together the -RG, -RB, or -GB switches you get yellow, magenta, or cyan images. obsessed.

and combining the -RGB switches produces the gray image — which is the same as without any switches. so basically you did a whole thing for nothing and honestly? respect. 💀
