+Currently supporting Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, and GNU/kFreeBSD.
+The *BSD support is derived from Riccardo's <riccardo.persichetti at tin.it>
+system load plugin.
+
+i18n support is up to 15 fully supported languages, with another 20 partially
+supported languages.
+
+--------
+How to use
+----
+Just add it to your xfce pannel, and it should display the CPU usage in an easy
+to understand way.
+
+A left click on the plugin will launch xfce4-taskmanager, or if you don't have
+it, top in a terminal.
+
+A right click gives access to the usual xfce plugin context menu, from which
+properties can be opened. The properties are split into two tabs.
+
+The first tab allows to change the appearance of the main graph. You can select
+between 4 modes and 3 color modes, and pick the various colors used. Here is a
+description of what the various colors mean in each combination of mode and
+color mode.
+
+Color 1: None - Normal: The color of the whole graph.
+ LED: The color of the inactive leds.
+ No History: The color of the whole "graph".
+
+ Gradient - Normal: The start color of the graph.
+ LED: The color of the inactive leds.
+ No History: The start color of the "graph".
+
+ Fire - Normal: The start color of the graph.
+ LED: The color of the inactive leds.
+ No History: The start color of the "graph".
+
+Color 2: None - Normal: This color isn't used.
+ LED: The color of the active leds.
+ No History: This color isn't used.
+
+ Gradient - Normal: The end color of the graph.
+ LED: The start color of the leds.
+ No History: The end color of the "graph".
+
+ Fire - Normal: The end color of the graph.
+ LED: The start color of the leds.
+ No History: The end color of the "graph".
+
+Color 3: None - Normal: This color isn't used.
+ LED: This color isn't used.
+ No History: This color isn't used.
+
+ Gradient - Normal: This color isn't used.
+ LED: The end color of the leds.
+ No History: This color isn't used.
+
+ Fire - Normal: This color isn't used.
+ LED: The end color of the leds.
+ No History: This color isn't used.
+
+In the second tab of the properties, the following options are available:
+
+* Update interval: How often the graph is refreshed with new CPU data
+
+* Tracked core: On multi core or multi CPU systems, allows to pick whether CPU
+ Graph should display data representing all cores/CPUs or only a
+ specific one.
+
+* Width / Height: Depending on the orientation of the xfce panel, allows to
+ change the width or height of the CPU Graph plugin.
+
+* Non-linear time scale: When checked, scrolling will work differently. Try
+ and see.
+
+* Show frame: If this option is checked it draws a frame around the plugin.
+
+* Show border: If this option is checked, a small blank area is drawn around
+ the plugin.
+
+* Show current usage bars: When checked, in addition to the main graph area,
+ the plugin show one bar per core/CPU, displaying the
+ current load of that core/CPU.
+
+* Associated command: Sets the command to run when the plugin is left-clicked.
+
+* Run in a terminal: When checked, the associated command will be run from a
+ terminal, rather than as a graphical application. Useful
+ for example when the associated command is "top".
+
+* Use startup notification: When checked, uses startup notification for the
+ associated command.
+
+Please report any bugs to http://bugs.xfce.org/
Hope this suite your needs.
