        Tricky one. Disabled by default. See "CAVEAT".

    "--[no]rgb"
        Use the RGB palette instead of the system colors. Also disabled by
        default, for the same reasons as above.

    "--fg COLOR_NAME"
        Force chart foreground color.

    "--bg COLOR_NAME"
        Force chart background color.

    "--[no]loadavg"
        Use load average <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)>
        metric instead of CPU utilization. You might want to set the "--max"
        threshold since this is an absolute value and has varying ranges on
        different systems. Disabled by default.

    "--[no]swap"
        Display the swap usage. Used swap amount is added to the total
        amount, but the free swap amount is not! Disabled by default.

  Time remaining
    If the "--remaining" option is present but you do not see the time in
    your status bar, you may need to increase the value of
    "status-right-length" to 48.

  Color scheme
    If you only see the memory usage bars but no CPU utilization chart,
    that's because your terminal's color scheme need an explicit distinction
    between foreground and background colors. For instance, "red on red
    background" will be displayed as a red block on such terminals. Thus,
    you may need the ANSI bright attribute for greater contrast, or maybe
    consider switching to the 256-color palette. There are some issues with
    that, though:

    1.  Other color schemes (notably, solarized
        <http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized>) have different meaning for
        the ANSI bright attribute. So using it will result in a quite
        psychedelic appearance. 256-color pallette, activated by the "--rgb"
        flag, is unaffected by that.

Use the B<RGB> palette instead of the system colors.
Also disabled by default, for the same reasons as above.

=item C<--fg COLOR_NAME>

Force chart foreground color.

=item C<--bg COLOR_NAME>

Force chart background color.

=item C<--[no]loadavg>

Use L<load average|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)> metric instead of CPU utilization.
You might want to set the C<--max> threshold since this is an absolute value and has varying ranges on different systems.
Disabled by default.

=item C<--[no]swap>

Display the swap usage.
