@Faay Windows has a built in app called HWMONITOR, I believe. On Linux, Conky is one people often suggest as it is easy to install.
@sirgeefive @Faay there's one little mod that I remember being called rain check or something like that it provides a bunch of little windows that you can move around and stylize UI-wise. I think it's available on the Linux and Windows too. I'll have to check on the name to make sure but it was an app that I picked up about 8 years ago.
@sirgeefive @Faay AH HA Rainmeter, that's the name of it! They have assloads of skins for the UI available for the public on Deviantart from regular digital artists too.
@sirgeefive @Faay I used to use it a lot, it's got a LOT of nifty little tools and gadgets you can pin on the mainscreen for monitoring your system, from CPU, RAM, down to traffic on your network, and more.
