System Monitor Gadget Project Plan

Project Overview

A desktop system monitoring application built with Python and tkinter that provides real-time monitoring of system resources including CPU, HDD, and network usage.

Current Features

  • Real-time CPU usage monitoring
  • HDD usage monitoring
  • Network usage monitoring
  • Modern dark theme UI
  • Compact window that stays on top
  • Graphical visualization of system metrics

Recent Changes

  • Initial project setup with core monitoring features
  • Added support for multiple system metrics
  • Implemented dark theme UI

Future Enhancements

  • Add more system metrics (RAM, GPU, temperature)
  • Implement customizable alert thresholds
  • Add export functionality for metrics
  • Create installer for easier distribution
  • Add support for multiple themes
  • Implement system tray integration
  • Add network speed test functionality

Technical Stack

  • Python 3.8+
  • tkinter for GUI
  • psutil for system metrics
  • matplotlib for data visualization
  • numpy for data processing

Development Guidelines

  • Follow PEP 8 style guide
  • Use type hints for better code clarity
