Good point. Perhaps it would be better to add "predefined styles" to
KSysGuard, so that the user can easily choose its
preference. What do you think?

Thanks!
I think the first version was better, IMO. Let's see if anyone else has any comment,
otherwise I will push that
version. Can you send in the modified files?
Cheers Michele
No real preference, a comment though. I like/need more contrast than the newer iterations
of DE's are providing.
i.e., the icons in the menu of the ksysguard_proposed_colors.png are hard on the eyes.
Good
point, the current colors are really old style IMO. The proposed colors looks better,
although I would
make the writing a little more visible. Another possibility would be to use a slightly
pale background
instead of white. Could you try a few variations and sned them in?
Yes. From the proposed ones, the ones I prefer are either white or window background
gray.
One thing: The horizontal lines and the text has only 1 common color setting. Also, maybe
reverse color (as we
see often for the percent text on a progress bar) could be good for the text, or having
the scale text at the
left of the graph, instead of in the graph.
Talking about the scales, I think that for the ram and swap graphs, the size could be
written in GB, not in MB,
since modern computers have much more ram than in the past. Also, when scales doesn't
fit mathematically on a
perfect number (as 1/3 = 0,333333333), I think that displaying 2 numbers after the point
is enough (as 0,33).
In general though, I think a rework of the
current Ksysguard graph is what is really needed. The ones from
KDE4 and Gnome looks much better.
They look better, and they update the graph faster than 1 time/second, so it appear to
move much more smoothly.
Also, with the speed of modern computer, maybe some info is missed because of the slow
update.
By the way, your desktop background looks quite
nice. Is it possible for you to share it as well?
Of course, here it is:

I also post a picture of the Win 8.1 task manager. While Win is not always the best OS, I
think that Win 8.1
task manager is very well crafted, and could be inspired from if one day TDE's task
manager is to be
redesigned. It shows easily all the info I want to see in a task manager, separated by
sections for ram, cpu,
hdd and network, while still showing a little graph of each one, to see easily what
happens with your system.
Thank you! -Alexandre -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
