1st Please fix linke from http -> https
2nd Seams there is no activity since the last 4 years anymore on the project. So it is the best monitor I know. Is there still someone supporting the code? If yes, what is required to build a new version, which update the features to the new Plasma style and mainly fix the display errors at UHD screens and update some lacks CPU temperature monitoring on some systems (and very good will be to have an overview of the the free disk space (local and remote mounted).
PS: There is the option to support the developer - please contact me directly

3 Well, it does show date, time and OS version. 0s uptime, 0GB memory, 0GB swap, no CPUs or temperatures despite xsensors and htop doing just fine. Spamming those lines:

Can anyone detail how to get CPU temperature to show up for the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U CPU?

8 It looks great, not sure why it is showing 12 cpu instead of 6.
And I still haven't managed to get temps. But that bit could be my fault.

8 I too have problems on the alignment with hdpi (4k) monitors. These is what I did to fix it. Thought of sharing to others on the solution.

1. To fix the clock misalignment:

go to,. ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmatoids/org.kde.simpleMonitor/contents/ui/skins

edit the DefaultSkin.qml and under "id: timePicker" change the "Layout.bottomMargin:" from 5 to 42, save and exit.

2. To fix the CPU % bar misalignment:
go to,. ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmatoids/org.kde.simpleMonitor/contents/ui/monitorWidgets

edit the CoreTempList.qml and look for "NumberAnimation { target: coreListTemp; property: "height"; to: 25", change 25 to 50, save and exit.

edit the CpuWidget.qml and look for "NumberAnimation { target: cpuListItem; property: "height"; to: 25", change 25 to 50, save and exit.

3. Logout/Restart.

Thanks!
All arranged with two comments:
First:
The DefaultSkin.qml is located at ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.simpleMonitor/contents/ui/skins, you need to change "plasmatoids" with "plasmoids".

Second:
I Changed the DefaultSkin.qml but I needed to change also in the file ColumnSkin.qml the "Layout.bottomMargin:" from 5 to 42

I added one more screen capture, with the result in "https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12vtVw-kiLc0yO1sbjUZXbs2YrdyVm3ID?usp=sharing"

Thanks again!

8 Any chance of adding the KDE neon logo as one of the options?

Report

This is my way:

Create one file in svg format with your logo (267x267 px) and transparent background.
name it "distro-" your_distro_name ".svg" in my case "distro-debian.svg"
Put it into: ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.simpleMonitor/contents/images/

Edit ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.simpleMonitor/contents/code/code.js and add your distro name in the end of this line:

var logos = ["tux", "slackware", "ubuntu", "kubuntu", "opensuse", "manjaro", "arch", "fedora", "debian"]

Edit ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.simpleMonitor/contents/ui/config/ConfigGeneral.qml and add the name for the combo list in the same order:

ComboBox {
id: logoComboBox
model: ["Default", "Tux", "Slackware", "Ubuntu", "Kubuntu", "OpenSUSE", "Manjaro", "Arch", "Fedora", "Debian"]
}

Edit ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.simpleMonitor/contents/config/main.xml and add one new element at the end of the choices list:

Distribution logo

0

Logo scaling
1.0

And logout and login.

Thats all folks!

Almost perfect, but just like ksysguard, this too treats io-wait as cpu-usage. Please fix it.

7 good Nice looking presentation of resource statuses. However, it wastes a considerable amount of space and it can't be resized to be much smaller than the default size. Displaying the logo should be optional.
