Hi Ronie.

When you get around to finalising Transparency for v18 Leia release would it be possible to add graphical bars for cumulative CPU (and memory) usage in the [•Settings•System information | Hardware] screen ?

i.e. Like the default Estuary skin, only ... Transparencyfied 

With the thread-load constantly jumping around from core to core it's difficult to get an "at a glance" idea of the true system load from just the numbers.




Thanks in advance,

Both your images are not working. Uploads via https://imgur.com should work without a problem, use the 'i' button in the text editor's tool bar.

Doh - must have done something aggravating with the settings for the webserver on my home media server. Imgur saves the day

I had a quick go with my current Krypton 17.6/Transparency 10.3.0 build, with fairly usable result.

Used the xml for the bars from Estuary's SettingsSystemInfo.xml as a basis, albeit with some kludging required.
(The sub-elements in each category are hardcoded in Kodi to a given line/label number, so had to add the bars to the "global" section at the end of the inbuilt label list, so they display on all sections rather than just Hardware. With some futzing of spacing it all worked out well, I think  )





Code edits below for anyone interested in adding to their current build, and can't wait for Ronie to do a "proper" and pretty version

Code:

                <control type="label" id="10">
                    <description>Label 10</description>
<!--- Hacky kludge for labels 10 & 11 used by `PVR service` section.
            Couldn't modify PVR section layout for `deleted & recoverable recordings` item,
            which overlapped new CPU & RAM bars position. This variable doesn't get populated
            on my LibreELEC/TVHeadend setup so was a waste of space anyway.
            This is the only section in the Systeminfo page that uses labels number 10 & 11,
            so forced #10 to offscreen left and moved #11 up into it's place --->
