Feature Request: Add support for displaying system resource usage in prompt

Feature Request: Show system resource usage in Powerlevel10k prompt

It would be helpful to display basic system resource usage in the prompt, such as CPU load, memory usage, or disk space. This would allow users to monitor system performance directly from the terminal without running separate commands.

Ideally, this feature could be optional and configurable via .p10k.zsh, with support for color indicators (e.g., green for low usage, red for high usage).

Thank you for maintaining this amazing project!

Hey you can already display these usage info in the prompt using the following configuration in your .p10k.zsh file

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(
    load                  # CPU load
    disk_usage            # disk usage
    ram                   # free RAM
    swap                  # used swap
)

You can add more depending on your needs. View the full list of batteries here https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k?tab=readme-ov-file#batteries-included

This is already implemented in the community fork! We have cpu_usage, ram_usage, and swap prompt segments with configurable HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW thresholds and color coding.

To enable them, add these to your right prompt elements in .p10k.zsh:

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(
  # ... your other segments ...
  cpu_usage
  ram_usage
  swap
)

Each segment supports threshold-based coloring (green/yellow/red). See the generated config for all options. Closing as implemented.

These features already exist in Powerlevel10k! Add these segments to your prompt in .p10k.zsh:

• cpu_usage — CPU load with color thresholds (green/yellow/red)
• ram — Memory usage
• disk_usage — Disk space

Add them to POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS:

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(
  ...
  cpu_usage
  ram
  disk_usage
)

The color thresholds are configurable. See the generated .p10k.zsh for all available options.

[redbasecap-buiss]

This is already supported! Powerlevel10k includes several built-in segments for system resource monitoring:

• cpu_usage — CPU usage percentage with HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW color thresholds
• ram_usage — RAM usage percentage with HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW color thresholds
• disk_usage — Disk usage for the current filesystem
• load — System load average

To enable them, add them to your right prompt elements in ~/.p10k.zsh:

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(
  # ... your existing elements ...
  cpu_usage
  ram_usage
  disk_usage
  load
)

You can customize thresholds and colors, e.g.:

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_RAM_USAGE_HIGH_THRESHOLD=90
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_RAM_USAGE_MEDIUM_THRESHOLD=70
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CPU_USAGE_HIGH_THRESHOLD=90
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CPU_USAGE_MEDIUM_THRESHOLD=50

Closing as this functionality already exists. Let us know if you need help configuring it!
