Description Yao Ziyuan 2008-09-09 07:00:17 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In the Physical Memory pane of System Monitor, the displayed color for Cached Memory is different from what is shown in the legend. This is because the displayed color somehow has a certain degree of translucency. The translucency should be removed.

Comment 1 Greg Martyn 2008-09-09 08:39:06 UTC

The legend should match the displayed color; I agree.

However, I'd like to keep the transparency. I don't think that knowing how much memory is used for caching is important to most users. In fact, it would probably be better to not show it at all.

Is knowing how much memory is cached important to you? I'd like to know about its importance to you. If you had a choice between partial transparency (the way things are) and having to go through the options to show caching at all, which do you think would be better and why?

Thanks

Now I understand why there is translucency now: to indicate that the memory is free to be released.

I support using translucency, and I think it should be "90% translucency", to better reflect its meaning.

And the color block in the Legend should be painted with the same translucency, to match the displayed color.

Changing this to wishlist as this is not a bug, what do we do with this?  I don't think we should change the circle to be translucent like the fill color as it match the outline color already.  Do we add an option in the setting to remove translucency?

ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task.

If your wish is still valid for the Plasma 6 replacement, please re-open and we can move this bug to the new product, thanks!
