Conky inspired system info viewer written in Rust / GTK3

Conky was named after the puppet... so this thing is Randy

A man’s gotta eat, Julian.

I'm new to Rust (you can tell in the code!), having fun and learning a lot.

I'd like to come up with a more standard "module" interface once I've developed more of the modules and refactor based on what I have learned.

Done! My old Conky setup looked more or less likethe Randy screenshot.

Took 200+ commits to get there, but its there and working!

Strive to do things in as little cycles as possible.Not do things as fast as possible (hence to parallel scans of /proc/*).

ps -eo etimes,times,command| grep randy

• Check out thebench directory/sub-crate for some speed testing
• Build with--features timings to see details about how long things take in Randy

At the moment Randy only really runs on Linux. Running on other operating systems is not a goal.

Note: someone shared a screenshot ofRandy running on Windows with WSfL though :D.

• Module list:
  • system - system info
  • cpus - all cpus usage stats bar
  • cpu_consumers - top N pids using cpu and their usage
  • mem_consumers - top N pids using mem and their usage
  • filesystem - usage of a given mounted filesystem
  • net - usage recv/trans for a given network interface
  • battery - charging/discharging percentage of /sys/*/power_supply's
• Can order the modules how you wish
• Can enable/disable modules and sub items

• bar_height - the height of the bars (default: 10px)
• base_opacity - the base opacity of the Randy window. affectswindow and all sub-widgets. (default: 1.0)
• color_bar - base color of the usage bars
• color_bar_med - color of the usage bars > 50% < 80%
• color_bar_high - color of the usage bars > 80%
• color_borders - color of the GTKborders (frame borders, bar borders) defaults to same ascolor_text
• color_label - color of the "labels"
• color_text - color of all other text
• decoration - hide/show window decorations
• font_family - the CSS-style font family string (font names with spaces must be wrapped in escaped quotes, egfo_family: "\"Terminus (TTF)\", \"Liberation Mono\", monospace")
• font_size
• mod_bat -modulo used to skip frames for getting battery data (default: 2)
• mod_fs - modulo used to skip frames for getting filesystem data (default: 2)
• mod_top - modulo used to skip frames for getting top data (default: 2)
• resizable - bool to make the GUI resizable
• skip_taskbar - in case you want to see a Randy item in the taskbar
• timeout - time in seconds to wait between frame updates
• xpos - starting position x
• ypos - starting position y

• nvidia: Enable NVIDIA card temp sensing via NVML .so
• sensors: Enable lm-sensors integration

Example:

cargo run --features sensors,nvidia

I have only barely looked into packaging butjhjaggars put some helpful hints for Raspbian and Fedora in here:

• #2
• #1

cargo run --release --no-default-features# build with lm-sensors and nvml disabled

Randy needs to be pointed at a config Yaml.It will look for thedefault.yml in$PWD/config. Should work ootb if you launch from the root of the Git repo.

If you are launching Randy from elsewhere... point it at the config Yaml file of your choosing.Example:

randy /tmp/configs/my_cool_config.yml

• Does randy work with Wayland?
  • Yes, check out theproof
• Does randy work with X?
  • Yes
