There's a memory leak somewhere, probably connected to widget updates ...

To do: find it and fix it

First off: very cool project, dear sir!

Wouldn't it be cool to make this part of the dashboard (fields with numbers) actually mean something useful by showing some real PIDs?

Surely not in real-time, but with 5 or 10 second intervals or so?

Creating some color scale for the field buttons to denote the load a process is consuming would be nice too.

Furthermore maybe we could even split this section into 'user' and 'system' PIDs, or have distinctive feature (like colored border) for the fields to differentiate between 'user' and 'system' PIDs?

Professional UX/UI artists may have some nice ideas on this front, I dare ask 🫣

When resizing the primary screen using xrandr, the status bar application disappears (goes black, is not redrawn, something like that). In some trials it was redrawn but it didn't resize or resized to the previously used resolution.

Perhaps showing pids or binary basenames here with various processes from ps output polled every few seconds. It might add some utility. You could color code or sort them based on high cpu/mem utilization or nice level.
