Performing basic system monitoring and tuning

Setting colors using the .sys_mon file

When you select a color for an option in the System Monitor, your changes are saved in the .sys_mon file (created the first time you save settings). The changes apply only for the user desktop from which you are working, not for the whole system. If you prefer to customize your colors by editing the .sys_mon file directly you can log in as root and edit the .sys_mon file.

The file contains a line for each option in the ``List of Selected Options'' that appears on the desktop. For example, the first line reads:

   CPU Usage - User time:100:0:65535:0:1:0:0:0:0:0
The second, third, and fourth columns that appear after User time (0:65535:0) contain the red, blue, and green values for the color you selected. If you know what value you want to change these to, you can modify this file rather than use the desktop.
