      right: [cpu]

General

Field	Type	Default	Description
poll-interval-ms	u64	2000	Polling interval in milliseconds.
temp-sensor	string	"auto"	Temperature sensor label.
format	string	"{{ percent }}%"	Format string for the label.
icon-name	string	"ld-cpu-symbolic"	Icon name.
border-show	bool	false	Display border around button.
icon-show	bool	true	Display module icon.
label-show	bool	true	Display label.
label-max-length	u32	0	Max label characters before truncation. Set to 0 to disable.
thresholds	array of ThresholdEntry	[]	Dynamic color thresholds based on CPU usage percentage.

More about poll-interval-ms

Faster polling increases CPU usage.

More about temp-sensor

Use "auto" for automatic detection, or specify a label (e.g., "Tctl", "Package id 0").

Run sensors to see available labels.

More about format

Placeholders

• {{ percent }} - CPU usage (0-100)
• {{ freq_ghz }} - Frequency of the busiest core (highest usage)
• {{ avg_freq_ghz }} - Average frequency across cores
• {{ max_freq_ghz }} - Maximum frequency among cores
• {{ temp_c }} - Temperature in Celsius (if available)
• {{ temp_f }} - Temperature in Fahrenheit (if available)

Examples

• "{{ percent }}%" - "45%"
• "{{ percent }}% @ {{ freq_ghz }}GHz" - "45% @ 3.2GHz"
• "{{ percent }}% {{ temp_c }}C" - "45% 62C"

More about thresholds

Entries are checked in order; the last matching entry wins for each color slot. Use above for high-value warnings (e.g., high CPU usage).

Example

modules:
  cpu:
    thresholds:
      - above: 70
        icon-color: status-warning
        label-color: status-warning
      - above: 90
        icon-color: status-error
        label-color: status-error

Colors

Field	Type	Default	Description
border-color	ColorValue	"blue"	Border color token.
icon-color	ColorValue	"auto"	Icon foreground color.
icon-bg-color	ColorValue	"blue"	Icon container background color token.
label-color	ColorValue	"fg-default"	Label text color token.
button-bg-color	ColorValue	"bg-surface-elevated"	Button background color token.

Click actions

Field	Type	Default	Description
left-click	ClickAction	""	Action on left click.
right-click	ClickAction	""	Action on right click.
middle-click	ClickAction	""	Action on middle click.
scroll-up	ClickAction	""	Action on scroll up.
scroll-down	ClickAction	""	Action on scroll down.
