          The source code for the System Monitor can be acquired by opening a terminal and entering:



          apt-get source gnome-system-monitor


          Unfortunately it is written in C. You cannot extend it with Python and Quickly.

            A good reference for that would be the CPUMeter screenlet. You'd have to handle saving the data though.



            sudo apt-get install screenlets-pack-all



            On my system it's located here:
            /usr/share/screenlets/screenlets-pack-all/CPUMeter/CPUMeterScreenlet.py

                      A good reference for that would be the CPUMeter screenlet. You'd have to handle saving the data though.



                      sudo apt-get install screenlets-pack-all



                      On my system it's located here:
                      /usr/share/screenlets/screenlets-pack-all/CPUMeter/CPUMeterScreenlet.py
