It is a dockapp that is supported by X window managers such as Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, and Enlightenment. The top half of the app shows the 8 levels of throttling that can be selected (0 = 100% CPU use). The bottom shows the current percentage of CPU allowed to be used as well as a green,yellow,red indicator and graph indicator to further indicate how much of the cpu is throttled. .SH OPTIONS This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`\-'). A summary of options is included below. .TP .B \-d, \-\-display Attempt to open a window on the named X display. In the absence of this option, the display specified by the .B DISPLAY environment variable is used. .TP .B \-bl, \-\-backlight turn on back-light .TP .B \-lc, \-\-light\-color back-light color (rgb:6E/C6/3B is default) .TP .B \-i, \-\-interval number of secs between updates (1 is default) .TP .B \-h, \-\-help show help text and exit .TP .B \-v, \-\-version show program version and exit .TP .B \-w, \-\-windowed run the application in windowed mode .TP .B \-bw, \-\-broken\-wm activate broken window manager fix (use this if you have problems running it in your window manager) .TP .B \-p, \-\-performance use acpi performance instead of throttling .TP .B \-t, \-\-temperature temperature threshold to start downclocking (to avoid fan noise) .TP .B \-e temperature difference that will cause a state transition (default: 1)\n .TP .SH AUTHOR wmthrottle was assembled by Anthony Peacock It is largely based on WMMemMon and WMCPULoad by Seiichi SATO , WMMemLoad by Mark Staggs and wmapm by Chris D.
