A simple and customizable resource monitor widget for Windows 10/11 that displays the current usage of CPU, GPU, and RAM. The widget can be resized and moved freely on the screen or fixed in a specific position. It also supports autostart with the OS and allows for various customizations, such as font size, transparency, and color modes.

• Monitors CPU, GPU, and RAM usage.
• Resizable and movable widget.
• Can autostart with Windows 10/11.
• Supports background and text transparency control.
• Allows customization of font size and update interval.
• Color mode options: system colors, dynamic color based on usage.

• Just copy the file resource_monitor.exe to your PC and then run it.
• If resource_monitor.exe starts with an error, try to install and run it using resource_monitor.py following the instructions below.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AlexKlos/ResourceMonitor.git
   cd resource-monitor
   

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   venv\Scripts\activate  (for Windows)
   

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Run the application:

   python resource_monitor.py
   

The application can be set to run at startup. If enabled through the settings, copies it .exe to the folder LOCALAPPDATA\Resource Monitor, writes the key to the registry to ensure the application launches without the console window.
