What is CPU Frequency?

CPU Frequency is a GNOME Shell extension that adds an applet to the main panel, which shows current CPU(s) frequency.

What it looks like?

Everybody loves screenshots, right?

Disclaimer

As I couldn't find any real documentation for writing gnome-shell extensions, I based my code on better or worse snippets and tutorials found on internet. Some of the sources are mentioned below:

How it works?

The extension scans /sys/devices/system/cpu[0-9]+/cpufreq directories to find information about available and current CPU frequencies and presents it graphically.

Instalation

The cpufreq@zdyb.tk directory should be copied to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions or ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/:

# cp cpufreq\@zdyb.tk /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions

or:

$ cp cpufreq\@zdyb.tk ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

Please do not forget to enable the newly installed extension using for example gnome-tweak-tool.

If you don't want icons to be desaturated, you can edit cpufreq@zdyb.tk/extension.js file and change DESATURATE to false:

const DESATURATE = false;

Icons

The cpu icons are borrowed from GNOME 2.x applet named cpufreq. The icons are included in GNOME repository, so I assume the original author has nothing against using them in this project. If it's not true, please someone let me know.
