💖 WMLOAD — it's giving kernel stats but make it ✨aesthetic✨

okay so bestie, welcome to wmload from the General Commands Manual section, and no cap this little thing is iconic. It's a tiny window that shows you what your kernel is doing. Yes really. Periodt.

🌸 NAME 🌸

wmload — graphically display the kernel/system statistics

Like, it draws your kernel's whole situation. Visually. On purpose. We love that for her. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

wmload [ -u <secs> ] [ -e <program> ] [ -l <color> ] [ -p [+|-]x [+|-]y
] [ -s ] [ -i ] [ -w ] [ -v ]

copy it exactly like that bestie, no freestyling, the brackets are load-bearing 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So wmload displays a graphical representation of the kernel/system statistics on a 64x64 miniwindow. Sixty-four by sixty-four. Tiny. Adorable. Loaded with information. Main character energy fr fr.

Inside that little window there are three shades, and each one is a whole mood:

  • the light one — that's your user statistics ✨
  • the second one — that's the nice time statistics 💜
  • the darkest one — that's the system statistics 👑

Three shades, three vibes, one tiny window. The way that she fits all of that into 64x64? Obsessed. 😭

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -u <secs> — updatespeed. That's the update speed, bestie. The seconds. How often she refreshes. You get it. ⏱️
  • -e <program> — program to start on click. You click the window, a program starts. A little treat. 🎀
  • -p [+|-]x[+|-]y — position of wmload. Where she sits. Her little spot on the screen. 🌸
  • -s — without groundplate. No groundplate. Just vibes. 🦋
  • -i — start up as icon. She begins life as an icon. Humble beginnings. ✨
  • -w — start up withdrawn. She starts withdrawn. She's an introvert, respect it. 🙈
  • -v — output version. Tells you which version. Slay. ⭐

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /proc/stat — kernel/system statistics and other information. This is where she gets the goods, iykyk. 📁
