[edit] Info

A screenlet that displays free/used space information for selected hard drives, based on the Disk usage Screenlet by Helder Fraga (aka Whise), which is in turn based on the Disk screenlet by Jonathan Rauprich.

This screenlet adds quite a few new features on top of the original Disk Usage sceenlet. These are:

  • Ability to customize colors (it uses two colors, one for when disk usage is above a certain threshold, and one for when disk usage is above the threshold)
  • Ability to change the aforementioned threshold value
  • Ability to monitor more than one drive using one screenlet (i.e. no need to use 4 screenlets for 4 drives)
  • Ability to enter device names (e.g. /dev/sda1) instead of mount points

I've also changed a few features of the Disk Usage screenlet:

  • Changed the drive icon with the default drive icon from the Ubuntu Human theme
  • The default theme is based on the 'cristal' theme for the original screenlet.
  • I moved some stuff around in the interface

[edit] Planned features for v0.6

  • The ability to customize drive nicknames. For now, the last part of the mount point is displayed (i.e. Dallas for /media/Dallas)
  • The ability to use drive icons from the user's icon theme.

[edit] Installation

Install using the Screenlets Manager.

[edit] Usage

Add mount points (e.g. '/') or device names (e.g. '/dev/sda1') and customize colors, the update interval, and threshold value in options.
