Zebra System Monitor

The Zebra System Monitor is a valuable Superkaramba theme that offers basic system information and several python extensions to change the background, icon set, partition description, text, and plot colors. The developer was inspired by the "Black Cutouts" background of Liquid Weather and created a customizable system monitor. Notably, this program is the developer's first software created using Python, and they hope that users will enjoy it.

Before installing the Zebra System Monitor, ensure that Superkaramba is up-to-date. Aside from this, users must install PyQT, ImageMagick (a program for altering the transparency of background images), lm-sensors, and hddtemp. The latter requires the use of terminal commands to install and configure, such as allowing it to run with root privileges and checking the temperature of the hard drive.

To download the Zebra System Monitor .tar.gz file, users must navigate to the program's website and find the correct link. After the download is complete, the user must unpack the contents and change to the unpacked directory. Once there, double-click on the .theme file, and the program will open automatically. Overall, the Zebra System Monitor proves to be an efficient and useful tool for monitoring system metrics.
