Widget with diagram glitch at the cursor

SUMMARY
Circular Diagram areas glitch when using system monitor as a widget.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a System Monitor widget in the taskbar, with a circular diagram showing used and free RAM memory.
2. Click on the widget to show the detailed diagram.

OBSERVED RESULT
Diagram areas (free and used memory) have rounded edges and create a visual glitch.

EXPECTED RESULT
Diagram areas should not have rounded edge when next to each other.

I believe this is in fact the intended appearance.

> I believe this is in fact the intended appearance.

It might be a cool effect at a greater scale, but at this *small scale* it does not look right: instead of 2 colors next to each other, there is a *third* one: the background. One wonder if this is a tiny percentage or whatever It is not immediate that this is a style effect and it looks like a glitch.

Let me take an example in another field: good fonts and icons do not display the same level of details depending on their size, because it would look blurry at samall size, defeating readability.

The rounded edges should be only at ends that are *not* located next to another meaningful data.

Note that I am not against rounded effects, but they should be used with parsimony. 

So in name of *readability* against overstyling, I am reopening this.

Let's see what the maintainer thinks, then.
