There is gatotray, a proper trayapp http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=493173#493173 Or there is what Hairywill described above, which I seemed to miss at the time. _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers!

Exactly so. 
Sometimes the meter is maxed out, a solid block . . . This means both of my dual cores are occupied. I should know why . . . I might be watching a video and doing some other task simultaneously . . . Yesterday the meter was as streaky as bacon (white lines) Which indicated that several threads were running Why? Been doing some pretend programming . . . [I like to pretend I can program] 
By running Htop (Menu / System / System Status and Config in Puppy 5.3 or command line 'top') I could work out what they were . . . 
'Restart X' cleared these still running threads . . .

Lobster - I presume you are talking about a CPU usage meter in your first paragraph, and xload in your second paragraph... _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |

Yes, we discussed some solutions like that earlier in the thread, and also a ready-made tray-app (gatotray). But that isn't "fixing" anything . Xload is very useful as it is, and the point in this thread is so that people understand it.

Agreed. A tooltip should be easy to implement? Recently in using Openshot (still flakey in 1.4 but improving) the white threads grow in number telling me when it is likely to break and need a reboot. Just using restart of x I still found remaining threads running. Invaluable.
