Spent some time cleaning up and simplifying the UI and make it more responsive. Getting close to a point of a single common denomination of features between Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. These are the realistic options if you want to run a free and open operating system.

• Search “dialogue” added to process list.
• Remember window sizing and location.
• Simplify the process list view. One job, processes. Memory, CPU and other stats have their own windows.
• Introduce the menu to other windows. No feature takes precedence (potentially).
• Improved keyboard support. PgUp/PgDown focus. All windows close on Escape. You can quickly check some stat then close it.
• Rewrite the sensors UI. Some OS don't cache when reading sensors. It makes better use of screen also.
• Add a basic indicator for power supply.
• Improve behaviour on OpenBSD amd64 and arm64.
• Remove lots of horrible code.
• Fix bug (CPU).
• Purge an overly complicated storage API.
• Internally things are much better. Much simpler.
• Remove lots of blocking code.
• Some improvement on genlist cache (WIP).
• Flat icon for a “flat” theme.

The plan is, keep going, till the end :)

Wishing you all the very best in life and the coming year !
