cpu
CPU usage, frequency, and temperature.
Add it to your layout with cpu:
toml
[[bar.layout]]
monitor = "*"
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
toml
[[modules.cpu.thresholds]]
above = 70
icon-color = "status-warning"
label-color = "status-warning"
[[modules.cpu.thresholds]]
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 | "blue" | 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. |
