NVidiaScreenlet

NVidiaScreenlet is a versatile nVidia GPU screenlet that utilizes the nvidia-settings package. Screenlets is the name of the widget engine and a collection of widget applications developed independently. The engine operates primarily on X11-based compositing window managers, with Compiz being the most notable one, especially on Linux. Initially, screenlets only supported scripts written in Python and drawn in SVG. However, after version 0.0.14, they added web widgets (widgets that HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, similar to Apple Inc.'s Dashboard widgets).

NVidiaScreenlet offers several essential features, including viewing GPU details using the nvidia-settings package, such as the type, memory amount, driver version, resolution, refresh rate, GPU clock frequency, memory clock frequency, and temperature (ranging from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius). Additionally, clicking the middle mouse button on the Nvidia logo will run the nvidia-settings package.

To use NVidiaScreenlet, you need to install Screenlets. The latest release addresses a notation bug and includes significant code cleaning.

Overall, NVidiaScreenlet is a valuable tool for any nVidia GPU user who wants quick access to their GPU details.
