If you're looking for the former, have you checked <a href="http://kde-look.org" target="_blank">kde-look.org</a>? I've<br>
not needed that functionality, but given the variety of plasmoids at<br>
kdelook...<br>
<br>
If the latter, there's all sorts of options, including "the application<br>
formerly known as ksysguard" (generically aka system monitor, altho all<br>
the system monitor plasmoids are something entirely different, the<br>
problem with generic names, thus taking the hint from Prince for "The<br>
application formerly known as...", superkaramba and its various themes,<br>
yasp-scripted (kdelook) and its various themes, various other plasmoids,<br>
etc.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the suggestion, I am going to check them out.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
FWIW, yasp-scripted could be reasonably easily setup for the former as<br>
well, as it's very flexible (almost like superkaramba, but without the<br>
locationals, as it simply takes stuff in order, thus less complex than<br>
superkaramba). Much of the flexibility lies in its scriptability, since<br>
it's possible to have it report in text, plot or bar-graph form, the<br>
output of any arbitrary command, including shell scripts, python/perl/php/<br>
ruby/whatever scripts, c/c++ native executables, etc. I only do shell<br>
scripting, but am already envisioning the shell script implementation,<br>
using a date command to initialize, then comparing the output of a<br>
current data command against the initial date command with some simple<br>
math, and formatting the output as dd:hh:mm:ss... such an implementation<br>
wouldn't be accurate enough tho, to do more than second accuracy, and<br>
that not reliably. Given the limitations of plasma (the display loop<br>
must be single-threaded for various technical reasons), plus the various<br>
scheduling limitations depending on the kernel you run and its config,<br>
etc, sub-second accuracy isn't likely to be too good in any case, even if<br>
it's a 100% native coded plasmoid. Perhaps that's why nothing of that<br>
nature is shipped by default, tho it's quite likely someone's implemented<br>
it as a plasmoid anyway, and put it up on kdelook.<br>
