v2.4.0

Added

• Custom Font Color: Override the widget font color to match your panel theme (#20). Configurable via the new Colors settings tab.
• Threshold-Based Coloring: Metric values dynamically change color when they exceed configurable warning/critical thresholds (#12). Supported metrics:
  • CPU usage (default: warning 70%, critical 90%)
  • CPU temperature (default: warning 60°C, critical 85°C)
  • RAM usage (default: warning 70%, critical 90%)
  • GPU usage (default: warning 70%, critical 90%)
  • GPU temperature (default: warning 60°C, critical 85°C)
  • Battery level (inverted: warning below 30%, critical below 15%)
• Colors Config Tab: New settings page with color pickers for font/warning/critical colors and per-metric threshold sliders.
• Sensor modules now expose raw numeric values (cpuNumericValue, tempNumericValue, ramPercentage, batNumericValue) for threshold comparison.
• Utils.resolveColor() function for flexible threshold-triggered color resolution.

Fixed

• Fixed the Colors tab color picker turning white after selecting a color; it now uses a stable native platform color dialog and preserves the selected swatch correctly.

Notes

• Network and Power metrics are excluded from threshold coloring (no meaningful universal threshold).
• Both features are opt-in — disabled by default. Existing users are unaffected.

v2.3.0

Changed

• Sensor Module Architecture: Extracted all sensor logic from main.qml into dedicated QML components under contents/ui/sensors/:
  • CpuSensors.qml — CPU usage monitoring
  • MemorySensors.qml — RAM usage monitoring
  • TempSensors.qml — CPU temperature monitoring
  • GpuSensors.qml — GPU usage, VRAM, and temperature monitoring
  • BatterySensors.qml — Battery and power monitoring with auto-detection
  • NetworkSensors.qml — Network download/upload speed monitoring
  • Utils.qml — Shared formatting helpers (byte formatting, rate formatting)
• View Separation: Extracted compact and full representations into CompactView.qml and FullView.qml.
• Reduced main.qml: From ~700 lines to ~140 lines — now acts purely as an orchestrator.

Notes

• No user-facing or configuration changes. The widget behaves identically to v2.2.1.
• This refactor improves maintainability and makes it easier to add new sensor types in the future.

v2.2.1

Fixed

• Battery Detection Hotfix: Replaced SensorTreeModel with a crash-free Two-Stage Hybrid Detection system (#14):
  • Stage 1 (Silent Probe): Silently probes common battery paths (BAT0, BAT1, BATT, etc.) for instant detection without running any subprocesses.
  • Stage 2 (Fallback): If no standard battery is found, falls back to a single qdbus query to list all sensors, completely avoiding PlasmaCore.DataSource file descriptor leaks. Includes a manual config fallback if qdbus is unavailable.

v2.2.0

Added

• Custom Metric Order: Added a new configuration option to arrange metrics (CPU, RAM, GPU, etc.) individually in whatever order you prefer (#7).
• Dynamic Battery Detection: Replaced hardcoded BAT0/BAT1 sensors with dynamic SensorTreeModel discovery. The widget will now automatically find any battery your system has (BAT0, BATT, CMB0, macsmc-battery, etc.) (#14).

v2.1.1

Fixed

• Fixed a "Detected anchors on an item that is managed by a layout" QML warning spanning the journal log caused by a MouseArea anchoring inside a RowLayout (#13).

v2.1.0

Added

• GPU Metrics Support: Added VRAM usage and GPU temperature monitoring to the widget.
• GPU data is retrieved natively using KDE KSysGuard sensors (org.kde.ksysguard.sensors).

v2.0.0

Changed

• Major Architecture Overhaul: Replaced the previous sys-stats.sh backend with native KDE KSysGuard sensors (org.kde.ksysguard.sensors).
• Completely eliminates "file descriptor leak" crashes (Issue #8) and improves overall performance by relying directly on the ksystemstats D-Bus daemon instead of constantly spawning bash processes.
• Automatic fallback for battery monitoring (BAT0 and BAT1) logic implemented directly in QML.

v1.4.1

Fixed

• RAM usage showing empty on non-English locales — free translates its Mem: header based on locale, causing the parser to match nothing
• Switched RAM data source from free -b to /proc/meminfo (locale-independent, faster, more accurate)

v1.4.0

What's Changed

Added

• Display mode setting — choose between Text, Icons, or Icons + Text for the panel
• Custom icon picker — select icons from your installed theme for each metric (via KDE's native icon picker)
• Icon size slider — adjust icon size (8–24px) when using icon mode
• Font customization — choose any system font and font size for the panel text
• Settings tabs — split configuration into General, Metrics, and Icons tabs
• Reset to defaults button on the Icons tab
• CHANGELOG.md — version history
• Documentation — MkDocs site with installation, configuration, architecture, contributing, and troubleshooting guides

v1.3.0

What's Changed

• Add power consumption by @Pijuli in #4

New Contributors

• @Pijuli made their first contribution in #4
