Just press z in top for glorious colour.

Oh wow, I never knew! Guess I never read the manpage either.

Try B for bold, 1 to expand/collapse CPUs. And finally save the config file with W.

i always press z, x, c, s, 1, <enter> and shift+w to save. I used to color code different servers, but there's only so many combos (like 5) that are easy to read.

And htop is still good enough.

I like the idea of having IO integrated. I have trouble remembering the iotop flags and often run it in a parallel window.

htop shows IO usage too if your version is recent enough. Tab.

Ooh thanks!

users: more dots

btop: done
