Glad you like it; it's good to get a second opinion! But the way the memory is shown *is* a little confusing, I agree with you on that.emp00 wrote: ↑May 28th, 2024, 8:57 am Just another user's opinion, I also like it very much! By the way, the tooltip showing more info and giving explanations looks great as well. However, maybe some renaming would be good? Proposal:
- "In use --> "Total incl. file cache"
- "Modified" --> unclear to me what this shows, could maybe be deleted?
- "Standby" --> "Software RAM usage"
- "Free" --> Ok, of course self-explanatory
Question: In your screenshot, the percentage value (blue color, next to the bar) shows 43% -> this is now obviously the "lower" value of Software RAM usage without the file cache data. Previously, the higher percentage was shown here. Does this also mean, that this "lower" value will be shown in the graph (Graph / Show RAM) as well? That's fine, I think! Just wanted to hint on the graph display, making sure the skin is consistent in this respect.
So the 43% (the bright section of the bar graph) is the same as before, it is the "Used / Total" percentage. The extra dim part of the bar is the "Cache" memory, which is supposed to be "Modified + Standby", as shown in Task Manager and Resource Monitor, and the unused remainder of the bar is "Free" (but not the same "Free" as shown in the top of the skin, so I will call this "Unused" to keep them separate).
The traditional names at the top of the skin appear to be:
"Used" = "In use + Modified"
"Free" = "Standby + Unused"
"Total" = total installed RAM
In Resource Monitor:
"Available" = "Standby + Unused"
"Cached" = "Modified + Standby"
"Total" = "In use + Modified + Standby + Unused"
So this tells me the dim bar is wrong in my screenshot; it should actually be the Standby number only (not including Modified), since Modified is already included in the "Used" value.
