There are too many items in my gadget for it to be useful. For anyone running a boinc farm, IMHO, one would like to know if all the cpu's and gpu's are busy at a glance and the amount of the backlog (ready tasks). The number of gpu's and cpu's would have to be obtained when BoincTasks starts up (and updated if a system reboots). CPU tasks and GPU tasks would just be summed up over active tasks. The gadget would show something like the following
System | CPUs/Used | GPUs/Used |
| /Ready | /Ready |
-------- |------------|------------|
jys2x275 4/4/16 2/2/24
linux_i7 8/7/40 1/1/12
..etc..
For the 2nd line item above one cpu is not being used but there is sufficient backlog. This would be colored yellow since a project like aqua might not start unless all the cpus were available to use. if the backlog was under 8 then that line would be colored red since there was insufficient work for the system.
anyway, that is my wish.
[EDIT]
ok - i just discovered that if I set the time to display the gadget to 0 then I get to see the number of running tasks. However, only about 1/2 the systems are displayed as shown below.

While the above image shows "jstateson2quad, Running:2" there are actually 5 resources being used. One gpu (one task) and 4 cpus running aqua (1 task but 4 threads)

I put it in the todo list, lets see what I can do.
The tooltip can't show more than 128 char or so.
Implemented in V 0.63
