I'm trying to get the ksysguard applet to add new displays for networking and such, but can't figure out how to do it. When I add a new display to the applet, the blank box comes up, but I don't get a display properties dialog when I right click it... Instead I get the panel configuration menu... Can anybody tell me how to get this working?

Thank you very much,
James

Got it!

Okay... I decided to work on it myself... as I really wanted to get this thing done pretty quick... The answer was fairly simple, but I really wish I could get it tow ork through configuration...

Open up your ksysguard (full application, not the applet), and create a new sheet with one display. Get it working with what you want, and save the sheet. Open the saved sheet up with an editor, and you'll see it's all simple xml. Do the same with ~/.kde/share/ksysguard/KSysGuardApplet.xml. You'll see that that's the configuration file for your system guard applet. Copy the entirety of the <display> tag from your saved worksheet, and paste it into the KSysGuardApplet.xml.

Change the dckCount attribute in the configuration file to the number of docks you are going to want to have. Paste the <display> tag information after the others... Then copy the display tag from another of the docks, and paste it into the one you just pasted in. Alter the "dock" attribute to the next available value. Save the file and add the ksysguard applet to your panel again. You should have the display that you created in the ksysguard application.

Good luck,
James

Hey - I'm just trying to get a CPU graph applet,
your technique sounds brilliant, but I'm getting XML errors.

My files is like this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE KSysGuardApplet>
<WorkSheet sizeRatio="1" dockCnt="1" interval="2" />
<display topBar="0" vColor="326429" title="CPU Load" bColor="3223601" graphStyle="0" class="FancyPlotter" row="0" unit="" hScale="1" column="0" showUnit="0" hLines="1" hCount="5" vLines="1" autoRange="0" min="0" max="100" hColor="326429" globalUpdate="1" pause="0" fontSize="9" labels="1" vScroll="1" vDistance="30" >
<beam sensorName="cpu/user" hostName="localhost" color="1608191" sensorType="integer" />
<beam sensorName="cpu/sys" hostName="localhost" color="16743688" sensorType="integer" />
<beam sensorName="cpu/nice" hostName="localhost" color="16771600" sensorType="integer" />
</display>
</WorkSheet>

Thanks,

I had this problem too, found a much simpler solution. You'll notice if you have no current display and hover the mouse over it it says "Drag sensors from KDE System Guard into this cell."

Doesn't get much easier than drag'n'drop!

found that out later too!
