Description manuelchaves 2019-07-01 01:25:21 UTC 
The CPU Load Monitor panel widget doesn't seem to have a compact mode. Either by making each item smaller or by just showing an average of all cpus and system into 1.

Right now with system+cpus+ram it takes over 1100px width.

I would prefer if there was just an average of all cpus+system cpu usage (or whatever makes sense). If not at least have the option to make them smaller.

Are you using the widget on a computer with many CPU cores?

I have 4 cpu cores.
Here's a screenshot (it's from my second monitor so things like the tray were removed): https://i.imgur.com/4HvyqWI.png

I see. Until this bug is fixed, you can consider using the System Load Viewer widget (from kdeplasma-addons) to show the current average CPU usage. It saves a lot of space because it does not show the usage history graphs. If you choose "compact bar" for System Load Viewer, you can choose to show the current usage of each CPU core separately.

There is an average mode. Right-click on it, go to "Configure CPU load monitor" and uncheck everything except for "system".
