Hi Gene, Regarding edge of screen data like we are discussing. I personally use the gnome desktop and have the 'Resource Monitor'[1] extension installed. This allows for the displaying of a large amount of data. For other data I use 'lm-sensors' from the terminal. This may offer you more data, but only you can test and see. 'gkrellm' had its last git commit 3 years ago, so maybe the project is stale. Only upstream could tell you that. Maybe ask upstream if development is ongoing, a port to gtk 3 or 4 is in the works or what the projects plans are in general?
