SysDash

A KDE Plasma 6 desktop widget that shows CPU, GPU, memory, storage and network stats with temperatures, laid out as a horizontal strip that sits nicely above a bottom taskbar.

• Optional frosted-glass tiles/cards: the wallpaper behind them is blurred (Off / Frosted / Frosted vivid, with a strength slider)
• CPU usage gauge, clock, load, per-thread bars, package/core temperatures
• NVIDIA GPU usage, clock, fan, power, VRAM and temperature (read via NVML, no nvidia-smi needed)
• RAM (with cache), swap and RAM stick temperatures (DDR5 spd5118 sensors)
• Per-drive usage and NVMe temperature, plus a read/write graph for the system drive
• Network throughput graph and uptime
• History graphs for every section

Colors follow your Plasma color scheme by default, and the background can use the same theme graphics as your panel so the two match.

Settings

Right-click the widget → Configure SysDash…

• Appearance: refresh rate, graph history length, animations, width (auto, fixed, or match the bottom taskbar), auto-centering, sitting a set gap above the taskbar, spacing, text size, background style (match taskbar / Plasma widget / custom color, opacity, corner radius and border / none), glass (off / frosted / frosted vivid, blur strength, tint), section tile style (tint / match taskbar), tint, radius and border
• Sections: show or hide each section and almost every element in it
• Colors: theme colors or custom per-section colors, temperature thresholds, graph line width and fill

Requirements

• KDE Plasma 6
• Python 3 (standard library only)
• Optional: NVIDIA proprietary driver for GPU stats (libnvidia-ml.so.1)

Temperatures are read straight from /sys/class/hwmon. AMD (k10temp) and Intel (coretemp) CPUs are supported.

Install

The folder name must match the plugin id:

git clone https://github.com/zhelly0/sysdash ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zhelly0.sysdash

Then right-click the desktop → Add Widgets… → search for SysDash. If it doesn't show up, restart Plasma: systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.

To update: git pull in that folder and restart Plasma.
