Description Adam C 2016-02-11 13:45:07 UTC
I have 40 logical cores on my machine and the System Load / CPU History is not readable. Some colours are close to white, and i'ts generally not useful to show all 40 CPUs. I think that above, say 8, cores it would be much better to just show the overall load (I have a sensor CPU Load/System/Total Load (Floating Point Value).

Reproducible: Always

40 cores!
Marking as a wish, although I'd say it would be useful if you could come up with a patch there.

I'm still impressed, that they let me play with this kind of monster ;)

I agree, but those systems will pop up more and more. I heard rumours that you people are working on a new version of the monitor, so it might be useful to think about it..

I'm not aware of any rewrite of that code... :/ if you're not sure, ask #plasma IRC channel in freenode or plasma-devel@kde.org mailing list.

That's a usability study, needs someone to push it forward.
Comment 7 Adam C 2016-02-13 02:39:16 UTC
I see..

ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task.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