Notes

Please report any bugs or advice on the repository.

Collecting CPU usage

Collecting information involves running scripts (such as Powershell on Windows) that return information to the extension.

Why? Because I was not satisfied with the accuracy of the various solutions in Node.

Due to the solution I introduced, I cannot guarantee that this part of the extension will work flawlessly on Linux distributions and MacOS.

I am looking for better solutions, but collecting accurate information on different platforms is not an easy task.

Refresh rate of information

The information refresh rate may be different from that specified in the settings due to the use of a blocking mechanism to retrieve CPU information, so the impact on computer performance is greatly reduced.

Extension Settings

  • system-info.refreshRate: Controls the refresh rate of information
  • system-info.location: Select where the information will be displayed on the status bar
  • system-info.hideProcessorUsage: Hide CPU utilization
  • system-info.hideMemoryUsage: Hide RAM usage
  • system-info.coloredBackground: Determines whether the background of items should be colored according to the utilization of the hardware
  • system-info.warningBackgroundPercent: Changes the color of the item to a warning color if the specified percentage is exceeded.
  • system-info.errorBackgroundPercent: Changes the color of the item to a error color if the specified percentage is exceeded.
  • system-info.memoryUsageAsPercentage: Display memory usage as a percentage.
  • system-info.hideBatteryStatus: Hide battery status.
  • system-info.processorUsageType: Determines whether CPU usage should be displayed for the entire system or for the current process.
