Re: Create an LXDE Taskbar item like CPU monitor

Sorry - I'm not making myself clear :)

I wish to write an a applet/widget than monitors one particular process and have it show in the tray as a red or green icon.

I know how to monitor activity - I don't know how to make a tray applet/widget to do this :)

Thanks for the welcome :)

Maybe it is just a setting somewhere in your admin panel :)

Not very user friendly forum

Hi
Everytime I come back to check on my post, the forum asks me to login - worse than that - it says I've exceeded my login attempts and asks me an LXDE tech question.

Anyway of turning this "feature" off please :)

Does anyone know how to go about creating something like the CPU monitor that is on the teaskbar?
