Hello everyone, I was looking for a system monitor that would show in taskbar and I came across this program call Xmetre. It looks good from their webpage, but I don't really want to download it since I can't find much about the developer. No GitHub pages, no reviews, no nothing. I could try it in a VM but I wanted to see if anyone has tried it or has a better program.

 

Here is the website link:

Can I ask why you'd need a system monitor to show in taskbar? I take it you mean when you hover it'll show you the details?  Any system monitor program should show you the details when you hover over the program in taskbar... if you have enabled multi-tasking too for task view, it shouldn't matter what desktop even, for instance I have 4 desktops and can see all programs open on taskbar, if I hover over a program on desktop 3 while I am in desktop 1 I can move the mouse onto that preview and it shows me the full window and desktop of that program but without actually switching to it. Hope that makes sense?

I just use HWINFO64.
