Wallpaper SysInfo Overlay - Live Host Telemetry HUD Wallpaper Generator

Wallpaper SysInfo Overlay is a real-time Linux desktop telemetry HUD generator and wallpaper studio. An independent Linux alternative inspired by BgInfo for rendering live host system metrics directly onto custom or procedural desktop wallpapers.

Genuine Implemented Linux Features:

  • Live Linux Host Telemetry Collection: Reads real operating system release metadata (/etc/os-release), kernel and architecture details (uname), CPU model, core/thread topology, and clock speed (/proc/cpuinfo), physical RAM and swap usage (/proc/meminfo), system uptime (/proc/uptime), 1m/5m/15m load averages (/proc/loadavg), mounted disk space statistics (os.statvfs and /proc/mounts), and active network interface IPv4, MAC, and gateway addresses (/sys/class/net and /proc/net/route).
  • Procedural UHD & Custom Image Backgrounds: Generates crisp 1920x1080 (FHD), 2560x1440 (QHD), and 3840x2160 (4K UHD) procedural technical wallpapers using Pillow or overlays HUD cards onto user-selected PNG, JPG, BMP, and WEBP images from your home directory.
  • Customizable 9-Anchor HUD Layout & Themes: Position the info overlay at any of 9 screen anchors (Top/Middle/Bottom x Left/Center/Right) with adjustable margins, toggle individual telemetry fields, add custom asset notes, and switch between multiple typography and color theme presets with optional RAM and disk usage bars.
  • One-Click Wallpaper Apply & Telemetry Export: Saves rendered PNG wallpapers into Pictures/WallpaperSysInfo inside your user home directory, applies desktop backgrounds via gsettings, and exports live host telemetry snapshots to JSON, CSV, and TXT formats.
  • Bilingual Interface: Instant Vietnamese and English UI toggle.
