Bug ID: 420086
Summary: Network Monitor widget is HHHUUUGGGEEE and
unconfigurable.
Product: frameworks-kconfigwidgets
Version: 5.66.0
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Reporter: mark...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I have no idea if this is the correct "product" out of the 37456378465375
products listed but if it is not the correct one please move this report under
the correct product.
Also, ignore the selected version, i have no idea if thats the widgets version
or not and I have no way of telling that I can find but I had to select
something.
The network monitor widget is eating up a HUGE amount of my taskbar real estate
and is, for all intents and purposes utterly UNCONFIGURABLE!!!
The only configuration item in there thats acutally meaningful is the one to
select which interfaces are to be displayed.
Issues...
1: The widget shows the label for the interface and there is no option to turn
off labels.
2: the widget shows the up and down rates both graphically (yay!) and
numerically (boo!). The numerical display is overlayed on top of the graph and
there is no way to turn this "feature" off. This numerical display should only
be shown on mouse over and NOT over the top of the graph!
3: the colors are not configurable, you get blue and green like it or not
4: the width of the widget is static and not configurable.
The label is left justified and the numerical rates are right justified so
between the label and the numerical displays there is a HUGE GAPING HOLE!!!!!
"wlp4s0_____________xxx bps | yyy bps" <--- UTTER insanity!
The above becomes even worse when you have two interfaces being displayed
"enp2so ____________ xxx bps | yyy bps wlp4s0 ____________ xxx bps | yyy bps"
<-- and thus ONE freeking widget eats up HALF my freeking taskbar. someone has
not thought this through very well.
"_______" <-- THIS is how wide the widget should be, remove the lables and the
numerical overlays and make the widget width configurable so i dont have my
limited real-estate eaten up by something that is informational and which could
have a mouse over to show more in depth information IF and ONLY when I need it!
p.s. I would list this under critical but some people might get as annoyed with
me as I am with this widget.
