Need space after: Load - Swap - CPU in Bar view #800

Open jkemp814 opened 3 years ago

jkemp814 commented 3 years ago

When displaying meters in bar view there is no space, so Load for example is cut off and bracket is right up against meter name.

Load average looks like: Loa[ Swap [Bar] looks like: Swp[ CPU [Bar] looks like: Avg[

There may be others.

The caption with bar meters is always just 3 characters wide. So the only unfortunate part here is that the caption in bar mode isn't properly shortened in the internal information and thus the display is somewhat truncated …

Thank you for the prompt response. Maybe 'Load' could be changed to display 'Sys ['

jkemp814 commented 3 years ago

Even the space would probably count as a character?

Needs a bit of discussion on 4 letters vs ugly "Loa". Comments welcome :-)

natoscott commented 2 years ago

I think having CPU as an "Avg" is a problem too really - the Load value is an Average too ... so saying "Avg" doesn't really tell us anything about what's being displayed.

OTOH, people are probably used to things the way they are now.

Has anyone ever tested CPU meters with more than 999 CPUs?

BrancuAlexandru commented 6 months ago

If 'Loa' is Load Average it should probably be 'LdA' or 'LoA'

fasterit commented 6 months ago

None of those are more comprehensible than Loa(d)

BrancuAlexandru commented 1 month ago

@fasterit I think it's exactly the opposite lol. You have 2 words and three letters to represent them, and with Loa(d) you're only representing one of them. If you need to shorthand 'mouse acceleration' do you make it 'Mou' or 'Acc'? No, of course not.
