SUMMARY
The disk space widget is fairly limited in the way it can look.
When added to a slim horizontal panel or a vertical panel, the widget is pretty much useless.

The System load widget had a very convenient circular view, that fits nicely in the panel, both vertically and horizontally. And upon hovering more details are shown.

Could the Disk space widget also benefit from this design?

Perhaps optionally also show the mount point/dir next to each status icon. 

Screenshots attached.

Seems reasonable.

This is now an option in the new system monitor widgets in Plasma 5.19 and later.
