Looking through the source code I realized that everything is there, just my choice of colors is not very useful. The small red line apparently is the “buffer” part and “used” and “cache” are both the same color. This is simply resolved by choosing the colors manually. Therefore there is nothing that needs fixing. |
Created attachment 108277 [details] Current state with mock-up for my desired state The system load view widget has one gauge for CPU load, one for RAM and another for swap. They can be bars or rings, the problem is the same. For the RAM, it shows memory used by applications and memory used as cache. Both parts are separated by a very thin red line. In my use, I am not so interested in the amount of RAM used in total (because that will tend towards 100% with prolonged used), I am rather interested in how much RAM is allocated to the applications and if I will start to have a problem soon when starting another VM. So I have to quint and look for the red line. It would be a major improvement if the cache part could be painted in a different color as I have indicated in the attached image. I would greatly appreciate if somebody familiar with the widget programming process could use two different fill colors instead of the thin red line.
