More observations: Drawing by svg::paint yields too large a view on the panel (where one cannot adjust the plasmoid size). When I used that, I shrunk the rectangle to 80%. When I used kicon.::paint for the same svgz, I did not need to adjust the rect.
Some plasmoids available in repositories or installable from the add widget dialog: I tried one of the system monitor bar-graphs. The old panel applet looked nicer but this is a matter of taste. He had a little space between the bars. Putting this on the panel makes it uncomfortably large. 80% would improve it but again, a matter of taste. There is a dual-plot network traffic plasmoid. Knemo can also put up a plot-- if I want it. Otherwise, it has a simple iconic representation of traffic. The plasmoid might be a decent size on the panel but would take up too much room so I put it on the desktop and shrunk it down. The reduced pixeling interfers with the plots. This one might be better as a single dual line plot like knemo's so one would keep it a bit larger. (Additonally, one can click on and off a textual statistics box but it is not in sync with the plots which lag quite a bit behind. Knemo does this in a tool tip but that view is not "live.") The other one I tried is the quick-access plasmoid. This one is using the icon widget so sits nicely on the panel and responds to a proper click, not a press. This one is useful because it is quicker than bringing up a full dolphin. It could use some drag-and-drop capabilities. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
