Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

ליצור אופציה להצגת הביצועים שמופיעים כיום במנהל המשימות ואפשריים להצגה במעגן של לוח הפקודות בתוך שורת המשימות.

Scenario when this would be used?

תהיה אפשרות להטמעת הגרפים עצמם כמו במעגן, או לחילופין סמל ללחיצה או ריחוף ואז הצגה כפי שמתבצע כיום בסמל הממוזער שמופיע במגש כשמנהל המשימות פתוח.

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Create an option to display the performance metrics that currently appear in Task Manager, and make them available for display in the Command Bar dock within the taskbar.

Scenario when this would be used

There would be an option to embed the actual graphs—similar to how they appear in the dock—or alternatively, to show an icon that reveals the information on click or hover, similar to the current minimized icon that appears in the system tray when Task Manager is open.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing performance monitor codebase, particularly the taskbar icon and graph rendering, then add a new setting to toggle graph icons on the bands.
