ProcMon Table

ProcMon Table is a Cinnamon desklet that shows active processes in a clean, sortable table on your desktop. It is useful when you want a quick live view of which apps are using the most CPU or memory without opening a full system monitor window.

What It Shows

• PID
• USER
• CPU%
• MEM
• COMMAND

By default, rows are sorted by CPU% (highest first).

Features

• Click any column header to sort by that column.
• Click the same header again to reverse sort direction.
• Choose how many rows to display.
• Adjustable column widths.
• Optional "only my processes" filter.
• Two CPU% scaling modes: per_core (top-style, 100% = one full core) and total_scaled (100% = full system capacity).
• Adjustable refresh interval.
• Custom header/content colors and background transparency.
• Localized strings (en, es, fr).

Installation

1. Open System Settings -> Desklets.
2. Find ProcMon Table in the available desklets list.
3. Add it to the desktop.
4. Open desklet settings to customize layout, colors, and refresh behavior.

Configuration

You can configure:

• Refresh interval
• Row count
• Column widths
• Color and transparency
• "Only my processes" filtering
• CPU scaling mode (per_core or total_scaled)

Notes

• Process data is read from top in batch mode.
• Very long command names are truncated to keep the table readable.
