Surprising GPU Usage from catppuccin-bar alone #8

Closed Scarlaid closed 1 year ago

Scarlaid commented 1 year ago

This is a really high GPU usage as far as I have used other stuff, my guess is the visualizer While I do know is it tracks audio in real-time, which is resource-intensive like hell... I have seen other skins do this in a minmal usage possible, such as ModuleVisualizer from JaxCore or Robik.

Any way(s) to workaround with this current state? This does drain the battery by a lot than before I was just used Robik alone.

image image sidenote is I only use this bar alone and nothing else

well, highly dynamic shape meters in rainmeter are always expensive to draw... so it's kind of inevitable. see if disabling the visualizer works for you... also, little unknown fact is that the whole usage of the bar goes down dramatically if media AND apps are disabled.

I just found out why, it was the shadow, it doubles the usage somehow. Thanks anyway :)
