I read this one and agree that the system monitoring is a very nice feature in KDE 3.5 I like the super-configurability of it. I don't know if it's appropriate to attach an image to this mailing list or not, so please forgive me if it's wrong (see attached image--only 5K!). I have that strips of meters along the bottom of my screen and as you can see, I monitor many items and I set the scales for most of them to meet my desires. I also liked that I could put whatever titles and colors I wanted on them.* System Monitor Configuration Applet: Other than choosing the network interfaces and a keyboard shortcut (what for?) there is nothing to configure. Only plotting method is graph bar and the only color available is grey. I used to have monitors for CPU temperature, User and system load, incoming outgoing traffic and CPU frequency. These monitors had distinctive colors, some of them combined (net traffic) and I could immediately see what was going on. Not so anymore. Three applets beside eachother look like one piece of of gray modern art. Oh, and resizing them is not an option.I will file an issue on that, please create a screenshot of the KDE 3 System Monitor to attach to the issue. If you could label the screenshot with the important bits it might help the designer (Probably Aaron, who eventually gets around to everything plasma-related) get it right the first time.
