.Why did I do this? 'Cause I like the idea of having my monitor on the upper part of my screen. I think it's more natural. I guess it's a matter of choice so, I give this choice to you as well
.This Superkaramba applet is a complete computer monitor, including temps, partitions monitoring, network, memory, mails, system... It's based on Thao's Thao Sys Meter. Complete Horizontal System Monitor also includes Thunderbird Karamba applet. Thanks to their respective authors.
Dependancies :
This applet depends on libsensors/lm_sensors and hddtemp. They must be configured correctly.
Even if Complete Horizontal System Monitor doesn't depend on Thunderbird, it's recommanded to install this app as well.
Features :
- Display uptime
- Display Chipset temp
- Display power supply voltages
- Monitor memory and swap up to 10Go
- monitor CPU up to 8 cores

hi Loacoon, I've done a theme based on your work. You can download it here http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/siNc?content=72978
Yes, I've just seen it. It looks good, really really complete ;). I wanted to add graphical monitors too, but as you surely noticed, it's hard to monitor all the cards on the market, and the place is missing for multi-core CPUs monitoring. But I like your modification. If people want to have a really complete monitor, including GPU, yours is a good option ;).
why Thunderbird and not Kmail?
Hmm, the first reason is of course that I use Thunderbird. ;) The second is : Thunderbird is, I think, the most used. Anyway, that's just a link to launch the app, there is no real dependency to Thunderbird. It can be used without. If you know how to do, you can even change the link, so kmail will be launched instead of Thunderbird (maybe I should add it to the readme?).
