Description:

The Bubbling Load Monitor (or "Bubblemon" for short) is a panel applet that
displays the CPU and memory load as a bubbling liquid.

It displays something that looks like a vial containing water:
- The water level indicates how much memory is in use.
- The color of the liquid indicates how much swap space is used (watery blue
means none and angry red means all).
- The system CPU load is indicated by bubbles floating up through the liquid;
lots of bubbles means high CPU load. On SMP systems CPU load distribution is
visualized by having the most heavily loaded CPUs bubbles in the middle and
the others nearer to the edges.
- Seaweeds / reed growing up from the bottom indicate IO load;
high weeds equals high load.
- If you have unread mail, a message in a bottle falls into the water.

Choose "Add to Panel"->"Bubbling Load Monitor" in your GNOME Panel.
