Hello, Just by curiosity, I've tried your shell.
It is quite similar to my plasmashell configuration. It works for me except that I get tons of messages like: "0 instead of 3 arguments to message {Memory Used: %1 MB (...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 2 arguments to message {Memory Free: %1 MB (...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 2 arguments to message {Swap Total: %1 MB (%...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 3 arguments to message {Swap Used: %1 MB (%2...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 2 arguments to message {Swap Free: %1 MB (%2...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 2 arguments to message {Net send/receive: %1...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 1 arguments to message {Net max used: %1 KB/...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 2 arguments to message {Memory Total: %1 MB ...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 3 arguments to message {Memory Used: %1 MB (...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 2 arguments to message {Memory Free: %1 MB (...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 2 arguments to message {Swap Total: %1 MB (%...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 3 arguments to message {Swap Used: %1 MB (%2...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 2 arguments to message {Swap Free: %1 MB (%2...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 2 arguments to message {Net send/receive: %1...} supplied before conversion." "0 instead of 1 arguments to message {Net max used: %1 KB/...} supplied before conversion." from the cpu load widget.
