What in the nine hells is this?!?

Themes, config and scripts for the hot-babe CPU monitor.

Contents

There's a default config file, which you can modify at will. See hot-babe(1) for details.

Then there's move.sh, which uses xprop(1) and xdotool(1) to move hot-babe to a suitable place on your screen. Some window managers do not let you move it, and the claimed --geometry option to hot-babe does not seem to work - hence this script.

Lastly, there's a set of themes. See below for usage instructions.

But .. why??

Because hot-babe has been available on most/all BSD/UNIX/Linux variants out there for ever so long, and yet there are no themes for it to be found anywhere. Or maybe they're all in private "collections" and possibly not suitable for public consumption?

Fully understanding the controversial nature of the hot-babe package, and making no attempt to defend or excuse the blatantly misogynistic and otherwise discriminating history (and, to be fair, present) of the computer industry, I've added a couple of skins that I believe to be in the spirit of the original author and artist.

Who are the artists?

The original images have been found through various image searches, and despite significant effort I have not been able to track down their origins. This is unfortunate, and I hope to replace them with other themes where origins and licenses are known and appropriate.

License

See license file. The theme image files may be from other origins and thus not necessarily covered under the default license. Fair-use rights are assumed.

Usage

Install hot-babe, xdotool and xprop. Clone this repository - I suggest you name it ~/.hot-babe. Pick a theme, and run hot-babe --dir <theme>, followed by sh move.sh <theme>. Run sh move.sh without parameters to see the options you can pass.
