compact bar mode - memory really used hard to see

Hello,

Can you make the default color of the system monitor more contrasted (without being ugly of course :) ) please ?
For instance, as you can see in the screenshot, in compact bar mode, the memory really used is hard to see, it almost blend with the cache and buffer values.

Thanks !

I'm tempted to just remove cache, it's a completely useless value to show.

Would that work?

It can be a better solution. All of the available monitor (CPU, Mem, ...) should just show (at least by default) only the real usage.

Sync systemloadviewer showed items to ksysguard/system monitor

Summary:
We currently show how much cache is used. It's a completely useless value to know vs how much memory is free and leaves this applet out of sync with all the other memory monitors.

It's problematic because the bar is inconsistent with the tooltip, and
by default the system load viewer chooses a colour very similar to the
application used memory making the UI actually worse.

Test Plan:
Ran it
(there's some unrelated bugs/warnings in this applet that need fixing)
Bar showed a sensible value that matched tooltip, rather than
looking 100% full all the time
