SUMMARY The 'System Monitor Sensor' Widget has a problem with it's 'horizontal bars' display style. It's essentially useless if you need to monitor something like temperature for instance, because you can't set limits of the data. It will automatically choose it's own data range and it doesn't do a very good job at this. My CPU temp sensor just shows the bar 'maxed out' regardless of what it's temperature is. Basically it's upper data range is just whatever the current temp is for some reason. And my GPU temp sensor seems to display a range that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's idle temps are 2/3 of the way full on the bar and they're well within normal temp ranges. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set-up horizontal bars display style in System Monitor Sensor widget with a couple temp sensors. OBSERVED RESULT Notice that you can't gather any useful data from it without expanding the widget and reading the actual values. EXPECTED RESULT It should either be better at guessing automatic data ranges for something like temperature sensors or even better, allow the same setup that 'Bar Chart' display style uses and allow you to set your own data ranges, after all it's practically the same display style except horizontal.

is this still relevant in Plasma 5.25?
I just checked and the bug is still present in 5.25. CPU temperature sensor on the bar still shows as 'filled' regardless of temperature and GPU temp shows aeound half to 2/3 regardless of temperature.
