Who am I kidding, the only thing you need to know is this is a widget for Übersicht.
- Quick Installation

Starting from 0.X8a, you can update Evangelion Übersicht Widget by clicking the update button! Note that there will be frequent updates, but it will be worth your time. I'll try to make cooler updates in a given time frame.
Starting from 0.X11a, memory cell are used for displaying memory pressure level (NORMAL, WARN, CRITICAL) since memory usage percentage is less-commonly used in OSX now.
A few years ago, OSX implemented a new virtual memory technology called memory compression which makes memory percentage information less attractive to users. If your program is memory-consuming, then it becomes a trouble to know exactly how much memory space will be occupied after compression since you do not know how many of them are compressed. Memory pressure aims at showing the exact memory space will be taken for a program. The performance will get worse if many stuff are compressed and the memory pressure level raises. OSX defines 3 memory pressure levels: NORMAL, WARN, CRITICAL. If the memory cell is in NORMAL level, everything works fine and no affects on the performance. When it reaches to WARN, there will be noticeable drop in performance and it is the time for users to clean up their memories (or upgrade RAMs). As soon as it becomes CRITICAL, the computer will likely be frozen (too busy dealing with memory than doing actual computations, no progress from the user side) and ask you to terminate some targeted processes.
Taking actions when you see the memory cell turns red to the CRITICAL level!
If you are using an earlier version of this widget (before 0.X2a), please consider to make an update. Since later versions have a dramatic improvement in utility saving. It will only require 10% of energy, and 20% of CPU compared with earlier versions!
This widget is an Evangelion Übersicht Widget, displaying information through a huge amount of cells on your desktop.
On your desktop, even if you only display less than six mounted volumes (system volumes, connected servers etc.), this widget can completely replace it.
Currently with this widget you can:
- View time
- Check CPU and memory usage (Memory pressure is displayed)
- Check battery status
- Check your Trash size
- Check your public IP address
- Control your iTunes, show current artist, title, and Album cover
- Display the first 5 of all your mounted volumes in alphabetical order
- Display network traffic
- Alert on DoNotDisturb mode
- Vocal notice on alerts. Default is OFF, turn it on by setting config.Voice to true
Special features
- Update button displayed when new version is out
- Alarm system, triggers when CPU usage is too high or battery drops below 20% without charging
- Empty your trash bin by clicking the trash cell
- Open up a volume by clicking it
