📋 Requirements

• Python: 3.8 or higher
• OS: Windows 10/11 (primary support)
• Dependencies:
  • psutil==5.9.5 - System monitoring
  • pystray>=0.19.4 - System tray integration
  • Pillow>=9.0.0 - Image processing

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/sshcharacter-stack/aetherMonitorplus.git
   cd aetherMonitor+

2. Install dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the application

   python main.py

Building Executable

Build a standalone Windows executable:

python build.py

The executable will be created in dist/AetherMonitorPlus.exe.

Note: For icon support, place your application icons in the assets/ folder:

• main_icon.ico - 256x256 ICO file (multiple sizes recommended)
• icon.png - PNG file for widget and UI logo

⚙️ Configuration

Edit config.json to customize application behavior:

{
  "poll_intervals": {
    "cpu": 3,
    "ram": 5,
    "disk": 10
  },
  "window": {
    "width": 320,
    "height": 520,
    "resizable": false
  },
  "cache_ttl": 1
}

🎯 Memory Optimization

The application is designed with strict memory constraints in mind:

Optimization Strategies

• Lazy Loading - Components created only when needed
• Aggressive Garbage Collection - Automatic cleanup on window hide
• Dynamic Polling Intervals - Adjusts based on memory usage
• Minimal Caching - Only essential data cached

Target Memory Usage

• Startup: 15-18MB
• With Widget: 20-25MB
• Under Load: <30MB

Memory Monitoring

Built-in memory monitoring automatically optimizes resource usage:

• Increases polling intervals when memory exceeds 25MB
• Clears caches on window hide
• Forces garbage collection periodically

🎨 Usage

Main Window

• Displays real-time metrics (CPU, RAM, Disk, Temperature)
• Shows system health score
• Provides smart recommendations
• Widget toggle button

Overlay Widget

• Left-click: Open main window
• Right-click: Context menu (disable widget)
• Drag: Reposition anywhere on screen
• Auto-updates every 5 seconds

System Tray

• Left-click: Show main window
• Right-click: Context menu (Show/Quit)

---

🔧 Autostart (Windows)

Enable or disable autostart:

# Enable autostart
python autostart.py --enable

# Disable autostart
python autostart.py --disable

---

📊 System Health Formula

The system health score is calculated as:

Health = 100 - ((CPU_usage × 0.3) + (RAM_usage × 0.4) + (DISK_usage × 0.3))

This provides a balanced assessment of overall system performance.

🛠️ Development

Building from Source

1. Ensure all dependencies are installed
2. Place icons in assets/ folder (optional)
3. Run python build.py
4. Executable will be in dist/ folder

Running Tests

python main.py

Monitor memory usage with Task Manager to verify optimization targets.
