ui: Modernize popover panel — larger layout, resource monitoring, hover effects - #10
Merged
Conversation
Increases the menu bar popover size and font hierarchy for better readability on Retina and high-resolution displays. Changes: - Panel width: 320 → 380 - Padding: 16 → 20 - Header: title2 → title icon, headline → title3 name, caption → subheadline model - Status: subheadline → body (medium weight), caption2 → caption hint - Transcription: caption → subheadline label, callout → body text - Stats: caption2 → caption - Permissions: caption → subheadline/callout - Actions: callout → body, vertical padding 2 → 4 - Status dot: 8×8 → 10×10 - Audio level bar: 4pt → 6pt - Transcription card: padding 8 → 10, corner radius 6 → 8 - Section spacing increased throughout for breathing room
Fixes based on annotated screenshot feedback: - Move status dot next to 'VocaMac' title instead of far right - Show app RAM consumption in the empty top-right area - Full-width clickable area on Settings/Quit buttons (contentShape) - Hover highlight effect on action rows (MenuRowButtonStyle) - Remove divider between action rows for cleaner look - Proper alignment with negative horizontal padding offset
- Add ProcessMonitor class that polls CPU and memory every 5 seconds - Show CPU usage with cpu icon and RAM with memorychip icon in header - Hover tooltips show detailed info: - CPU: exact percentage + thread count - RAM: exact MB + peak memory usage - Monospaced digits for clean number alignment - Replaces inline memory calculation with proper observable polling
Replace basic .help() tooltips with interactive ResourceBadge views: - Subtle background highlight on hover - Popover shows detailed breakdown: - CPU: exact %, thread count, core count - RAM: resident MB, peak MB, total system RAM - Smooth hover animation (0.15s ease in/out) - Clean layout with icon, divider, and labeled rows
