Configuration

Right Click the Plasmoid and select "Configure System Monitor Plasmoid.." Currently 13 Item types can be selected in the "Layout" tab. Each Item can be displayed as a bar Graph, a Circular Graph or a Plot Graph. Colors for each Item can be selected on the "Colors" tab. Fast plotting or smooth plotting (More Cpu intensive) can be selected for the Plot Graph. There are options to show borders, to show labels (on top or bottom). There is an option to show peak values on plotter Items. What Disks/Partitions to show Space Or activity for can be selected in the "Disk Space" or "Disk IO" tabs. What network devices to show activity for can be selected in the network tab. What Gpu Devices to show activity, temperature or frequency for can be selected in the GPU tabs. What Power Devices to show status for can be selected in the Power tab. Different layouts can be obtained by selecting the number of columns/rows and layout direction.

Changing the Height/Width Ratio will change the width of the plasmoid in a horizontal panel or change the height of the plasmoid in a vertical panel

You may need to widen the configuration dialog to see the new options

There is now a custom label field for each display item and a display name field (for multiple device items). If you enter a space, no label/name will be displayed. If left blank the default label/name will be displayed.

Add the plasmoid to the desktop more than once for additional effects. The plasmoid can also be added multiple times to a panel for a wider widget effect. If more Items are selected than what is allowed by the combination of Columns and Rows, the display will be distorted due some Items overlaying each other. You will either need to select fewer Items or increase the number of columns or rows.
