Required prerequisites

I have searched the Issue Tracker that this hasn't already been reported. (comment there if it has.)
I have tried the latest version of nvitop in a new isolated virtual environment.

Motivation

Thanks for this tool. For the memory panel, I can only see the percentage. Is it possible to show the real memory size together?
Thanks

Hi @fuzihaofzh, have you ever tried the metrics screen? Select a process and press Enter/Return key. Also you can press the t key to switch to the treeview screen. Let me know if this resolves your concern.

Sorry for not make it clear. I mean this memory for the machine

I want to see the total memory of current machine (e.g. 35.4G/251G). Maybe make it looks like htop style as follows?

This is not compatible with the bar charts in nvitop. nvitop uses box drawing characters, while htop is using | and colors. It's hard to render texts property when your host memory is almost full. Maybe you can use a terminal multipler like tmux.

Thanks for the comments. I mean, as it can already show the percentage 10.4% in the above figure. It will not be quite hard to add some extra info (35.4G/251G). Or make it a possible option by users? It would be quite cool if I could see the total memory and the memory engaged in my machine. Thanks.
