TaskManager+ v2.6.8 — Native tray widget

Left-clicking the tray icon now opens a small native widget instead of a second app window.

The widget

  • Live system metrics — CPU, memory (used / total), GPU, disk throughput, network throughput, and battery, each with a colour-coded bar that shifts from green to orange to red as usage climbs. A footer line shows the running process count and current power draw.
  • Anchored to the tray — the popup opens directly above the tray icon, clamped so it stays on screen. It handles scaled displays correctly, so it lands in the right place at 125% or 150% zoom.
  • Click to toggle — clicking the tray icon again closes it. Double-clicking still opens the main window.
  • Movable and resizable — drag anywhere in the body to reposition it, or drag an edge or corner to resize. It stays on top of other windows.
  • Open button — jumps to the full app.

Why it is faster

The widget is its own lightweight process built on a native GUI toolkit rather than a second browser window. It launches immediately, uses a small fraction of the memory a WebView-based popup would, and reads telemetry directly instead of routing it through the web layer. The main app is unaffected — it does not load any of the widget's code.

Under the hood

  • The widget ships alongside the app as a bundled resource and is resolved by its installed name first, so a leftover copy from an older build cannot shadow the shipped one.
  • CI now builds and verifies the widget on every commit.
