First off: very cool project, dear sir!

Wouldn't it be cool to make this part of the dashboard (fields with numbers) actually mean something useful by showing some real PIDs?

Surely not in real-time, but with 5 or 10 second intervals or so?

Creating some color scale for the field buttons to denote the load a process is consuming would be nice too.

Furthermore maybe we could even split this section into 'user' and 'system' PIDs, or have distinctive feature (like colored border) for the fields to differentiate between 'user' and 'system' PIDs?

Professional UX/UI artists may have some nice ideas on this front, I dare ask 🫣

PID - Binary Basename would be more useful IMHO, because PIDs are pretty random.

Yes, it looks pretty random. In my opinion that's part of it, because when we look at the screens in the series there are often these fields with numbers that we as viewers have no clue what it is. (At least I didn't 😅)

That said, I'm open to using the names too. In the end,it would probably make sense to make it configurable via the status-config.xml. That way it's possible to choose between random numbers, PIDs, binary basenames and maybe other future options.
