Version: 1.2.0 (using KDE 3.5.8, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305 OS: FreeBSD (i386) release 7.0-BETA2 At least this should be optional. Also the window that pops up when the mouse is over the button should also show load information in more details.
I'm sorry, I don't understand. A mockup might help make your wish clearer.
Sorry I didn't express myself clear. Right now when I run ksysguard I get a static button showing some knobs. But this is just a picture. I would like to see the CPU utilization, memory utilization, load average shown in this button. Show it roughly since it's not enough space in the button. Also the window that comes up when I move my mouse over the button could show some more relevant into as well, not just the work KSysGuard. But this isn't as important as showing system load in the button itself. My rationale is that this button takes space on the screen. And this space can be utilized much better than just showing the picture. This will make ksysguard much more usable.
Yuri, Could you take a screenshot and indicate what static button thing you are referring to please?

I believe making tray icon show most important information about system load would be major improvement of usability. Windows shows CPU load in the tray. Yuri
Created attachment 114359 [details] Menu in main application to select which tray icons should be shown I have attached an example of how this is done in Process Hacker (Free software process monitor and debugging tool for Windows: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/): 1) "Menu in main application to select which tray icons should be shown" 2) "Example of system tray where 3 icons are enabled". The tray icons have black background by default an show a log graph of recent activity (e.g. CPU usage, Disk IO, network activity)

System Tray is sooo early 2000s .. ;-) We have CPU and System load widget available, just saying...
> We have CPU and System load widget available, just saying... I am still spoiled from the experience that is is possible to neatly integrate these things into the main application like Process Hacker. :-)
ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task.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!
