Description Hadrien G. 2019-02-21 09:06:54 UTC
SUMMARY

One very good thing about ksysguard, which made me switch from gnome-system-monitor in spite of using a GTK desktop and finding it more polished overall (see my other bug reports :)), is that you can tailor it to your needs. For example, I personally consider disk load monitoring a must-have, a point which all GUI system monitor authors seem to disagree with. With ksysguard, I can just roll my own tab and be done with that.

To perfect this experience, however, it should be possible to either customize the built-in "system load" tab or to close it after rolling out a replacement. Currently, neither of these seem possible.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open ksysguard
2. Go to "system load" tab
3. Notice that there is no "Close Tab" in the file menu and no tab editor on the right.

OBSERVED RESULT

It does not seem possible to customize or replace the built-in system load tab.

EXPECTED RESULT

It should be possible to do so.

Note that you can achieve this locally by editing
~/.local/share/ksysguard/SystemLoad2.sgrd
and setting
<WorkSheet locked="1" ... to locked "0"

@Nate, can you take a look at this? Seem like an easy fix...

ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task.

If your issue still happens with the Plasma 6 replacement, please re-open and we can move this bug to the new product, thanks!
