Description-en: very cool fiery way of showing your CPU usage
A Window Maker (or similar) dockapp which shows your current CPU usage as
a roaring fire.
.
It can monitor the average cpu load, or individual cpu load on SMP computers.
Additionally it can monitor the memory, network load, a file or just be set to
show a pretty flame. On entering the dock a burning spot replaces the cursor,
and after two seconds symbols to represent the current monitor are "burnt"
onscreen. The flame colour can also be changed.
.
It uses the GDK library to improve its speed - using less than half the CPU of
the original program.
