Meanwhile, I have released a new version of FSM v0.6.0! Among the changes, I can mention:

"Processors" page redesign: it has become simpler and cleaner;
"System Monitor" redesign: graph legends have been moved down, and displays of current graph parameters have been added (% CPU core usage and % RAM and swap usage); and the ability to change the color of the graphs has also been added, but so far this is only possible by manually specifying its color in the program configuration, the GUI has not yet done this;
"System Manager" improvements: added a display of the duration of the operating system boot (along with the duration of the firmware, bootloader, kernel, and userspace boot time);
and other...
