Description Richard Llom 2017-05-19 11:18:13 UTC
Currently the elements in ksysguard graphs are really spaced out.
This leads to poor use of screen real estate (lots of of unused chrome) and in case of the legend also to poor readability.

My proposal is:
- move graph title a little bit to the right, on top of the graph
- "compact" legend
- move legend on top of graph

See attached images for a better understanding.

*shameless bump*

@lsartorelli
I saw your work on kysyguard on Nate's blog and was wondering, if this request might also be interesting to you (to work on, that is :-).
cheers

Probably not all that hard, either.

ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task.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