CPU meters are not working under the Linux Lite OS.

I've done a search here. So if there is anything I've missed I apologize. I'm having an issue that I don't know how to explain in words. That's why I have a hard time google searching for it. Linux Lite uses the xfce desktop. Something seems to be missing. But I don't know where to begin to figure out what is missing. I already tried the Linux Lite forums and nobody responded. This time I made a video and posted it to youtube.

Hello and welcome.

This is a GTK theming issue. If you select another theme from Settings Manager > Appearance (like Clearlooks or Crux), you'll notice that the meters properly display their colours. You might want to follow up with the theme developer in getting the theme fixed. Or use another theme.

I checked Your absolutely right! Thank you. big_smile

I don't know who made this theme. It's called MediterraneanWhite. I'm going to replace it with something else.

you can also easily fix this for any theme if you unstyle the progressbars in the panel

That's cool. I don't know how to do that.

of course, just add something like this to your gtkrc

style"xfcepanelprogressbar"{
xthickness=0
ythickness=0
bg[NORMAL]="#000"
bg[PRELIGHT]="#ff00ff"
bg[SELECTED]="#ff00ff"
bg[ACTIVE]="#ff00ff"
bg[INSENSITIVE]="#ff00ff"
engine""{}}
widget"*XfcePanelWindow*GtkProgressBar"style"xfcepanelprogressbar"
