Display desktop statistics for Windows 10
Display desktop statistics for Windows 10
The app you're interested in is Conky, but it's designed exclusively for Linux. An alternative free and open-source tool with strong community support is gKrellM, which has been popular in the Linux world for many years. You can find it at https://www.srcbox.net/projects/gkrellm/, available in both 32 and 64-bit formats.
On Linux you can view system statistics through dedicated tools. Windows users often use Rainmeter for similar purposes.
weirdly not that i know of... at least not "lightweight" couldn't get rainmeter to run at all without bringing my whole system down, even with suspend option enabled -- could have be bios/software issue, i don't know but i couldn't, even the lightest thing would bog my system down. but here, for OP, it seems similar to what is wanted, but no guarantees if it's actually working (comments seem to suggest so) https://www.deviantart.com/abu46/art/mii...-206965499 but jc, does it seem messy... several progs, dll... needed... (by the looks of it) ps: btw, as always, i think this is most likely safe, but it's *always* recommended to scan things you download with malwarebytes or virustotal (other AVs, not really recommended imho) and when it tells you it's not secure, then dont run it / delete it (i wanna say from 10 thousands of files i downloaded from DA, i had zero positives, but not all of those files needed link to DA)
In fact this works on Windows. However there is no local mail support since Windows doesn't recognize local mail. Hardware sensors are accessed through external utilities. Accepted tools include SpeedFan, CoreTemp and MBM. Windows lacks a system load concept (meaning “proc”), so the load value is computed by GKrellM itself. This method is less precise than values from Unix systems. Determining swap activity reliably isn't possible on Windows, the graph for swap activity is not functional. Getting the logged-in user count (included in the “proc” graph) might require admin rights on Windows. Most other features operate smoothly for regular users. Similar to Rainmeter... it depends on additional components and often makes assumptions... I don't get why none of the popular monitoring tools provide a smooth overlay. You can use hwinfo or afterburner, but the results are limited—usually only for 3D apps, not for general desktops.
Here’s a revised version:
Another free option is available within Windows: the Game Bar. Press Win+G, open the system resources panel if needed, tweak the transparency, and pin it. The limitation is it only shows basic stats like CPU, GPU VRAM, RAM usage, and FPS (which will be blank since you're not playing a game), keeping everything constantly visible.
