Description: Superkaramba plasma system monitor widget. Based on the Crystal monitor 9. This one is minimalistic. No graphs or bars just plain text data. Does not take much resources or space - very lightweight. Just essential data - nothing more. Shows each CPU core separate. Default network interface is wlan0. Simplified temperature reading. For people who want a small system monitor. Tested on KDE 4.2.Last changelog:
Version 0.3 * temp is now read every 10s not 50s * moved to plasmoid scripts
Version 0.2: * temp now read form /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature
Main changes from crystal 9: * removed system info and hdd info * removed graphs * removed user/system CPU division * added CPU monitor for dual cpu * CPU temp returned through cat/proc/acpi * network up/down colors swapped * interface changed to wlan0 * reduced size
Hi, I'm Crystal Monitor developer. I'm interested of including this theme in CrystalMonitor extended package - you can easily switch different CrystalMonitor themes - and forks without need to download themes again...

BTW: I'm working on new version ... which will have a GUI...
Thanks for Your comments. In openSUSE I only have THRM dir in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone. Version 0.2 should work fine regardless of what this directory is called as long as the structure is in place. If anyone knows a better way of retrieving temperature let me know.
Can you show me the result of:
cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
what distro are you using?
Well temp did not work for me in the original crystal 9 so I changed it.
Could you look around /proc/acpi/ maybe the temp is there somewhere?
Or is there a better way of retrieving it?
I will look into that.
[marco@Marco-Laptop ~]$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
cat: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature: No such file or directory
but:
[marco@Marco-Laptop ~]$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/temperature
temperature: 43 C
I'm on arch-linux

Ouh, could you file this under Plasmoids Scripts please? Then it could be installed easily via KGetHotNewStuff. :)
Thanks for your comment. Moved.
The widget have now a nice place on my default desktop. Congratulations!
0.2 works good :)

very good work :D thank you
sorry for double post but temp is not working for me :(
I've it in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/temperature and not in .../THRM/...
