CPU Usage check about i3blocks HOT 6 CLOSED

I've made an update to get a standard horizontal size output and fixed a little bug

from i3blocks.

If you add the GPL license, it is ready to merge for me. But we also could find a CPU icon to replace by 'CPU:'. What do you think about: ⌑

from i3blocks.

I updated the icon. It's not recommended to add sign directly in the code as we can have printing issues. In addition, I added a new version with fixed width size. Let me know what do you think about the new icon. I think it could be then merged

from i3blocks.

Any news?

Printing an utf-8 char directly is ok if you set stdout's binmode. I don't really like the ⌑ char, it really looks like a window, and with the percentage, it's not really clear what this block is about. I prefer to drop this.

How should looks like a CPU for you? In my opinion, the closest to what a physical CPU looks like is a square: https://www.google.fr/search?q=cpu&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ucFUU-7_BIjsOsuRgcgJ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1536&bih=770

If you do not have any purpose for the icon, I suggest to add an extra argument in the check to replace text by icon. What do you think?

On little resolution, if we add text on each checks, it is not possible to show everything. In my use case, I got the issue on a vertical oriented screen.
