      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

 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.
