Even Chrome developers have bad judgement on occasion :P (Actually the issue is that :) is too vague for the range of issues that can impact the system. It sufficiently precise for the Chrome application). -walter On Wed, Jun 4, 2014 at 2:36 PM, Bernie Innocenti wrote: > Look, even Chrome copi

Concky looks great, but I thought we could only embed Python code in the frame. If a rewrite in Python is required, then we could as well start from Tincho's original work and improve it. While the happy/sad laptop might be an over-simplification, opening the palette did reveal real memory and cpu

Thans for the archeology Bernie! I agree that perhaps happy/sad isn't the proper metaphor. I remember having a similar WindowMaker dockapp, that would show the face from Doom's guy for the same purpose. Not very informative, but fun. Now, about this implementation, as i remember, once the pal

+1 to something like conky, which is real information instead of pretending to give the kids information. if you want smiley faces, they should have real data behind them. regards. -walter On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 5:16 AM, Iain Brown Douglas < i...@browndouglas.plus.com> wrote: > On Thu, 2014-0

Hi, I remember Sugar as deployed in Dextrose 1 had a signature happy/sad laptop icon and both memory / cpu load indicators. I am dogfooding Sugar again on a memory constrained laptop and am in need of a memory monitor, and this would be lovely. Is that code alive? Maybe it was a good idea to
