System Monitor UI planning
Now that the GTK4 port is done, it would be good to talk about System Monitor's UI design. I'd be happy to provide mockups and design guidance for this, but it would be helpful to have an idea of the overall direction.
Looking at System Monitor today, some aspects of the UI jump out as not following contemporary design practice. This includes the:
- expanders for CPU, memory and network in the resource view
- custom colours for charts, which don't follow the standard HIG palette
- old-style coloured icons
- spacing and content of the lists
We could go about tackling those things directly, but there are also some bigger questions which could have an impact on the overall design. The main ones I can think of here are adding other types of resources, like GPUs or charts for disk I/O, and making the app adaptive. Are there any plans in that direction?
Thanks!
