#### TC Desktop HUD - Customizable Desktop Telemetry HUD & Skin Manager

TC Desktop HUD is a customizable frameless desktop telemetry HUD and skin studio for Linux.
An independent Linux alternative inspired by Rainmeter for customizable desktop telemetry HUDs, live kernel ring gauges, and detachable floating desktop widgets.

It reads 100% live system metrics directly from the Linux kernel and mounted filesystems:

* Live CPU Telemetry (/proc/stat & /proc/cpuinfo): Aggregate and per-core CPU utilization bars, live core clock frequencies (MHz), context switches, and rolling 60-second sparkline history.
* Memory & Swap Ring Gauges (/proc/meminfo): Precision antialiased circular gauges for physical RAM, Cached/Buffers memory, and Swap utilization.
* Real-Time Network Throughput (/proc/net/dev): Live RX and TX transfer rates in KB/s across active network interfaces with cumulative byte and packet counters.
* Storage Capacity Bars (os.statvfs & /proc/mounts): Live disk usage gauges for real mounted Linux partitions and user home directories.
* System Uptime & Load (/proc/uptime & /proc/loadavg): Live uptime counter, 1m/5m/15m kernel load averages, and thermal sensor readouts.
* JSON Skin Editor & Floating Frameless Widgets: Edit, validate, import, and save custom JSON HUD skins with live color, opacity, corner-radius, and module controls, or detach frameless translucent HUD widgets onto your desktop.
* Bilingual Interface (Vietnamese / English) and real JSON/CSV/TXT telemetry snapshot export.
