Hello there!
So, is creating custom plasmoids for KDE Plasma, so-called widgets, complicated?
I’m asking because I’d like to create a widget that integrates various information into a single widget, instead of using multiple widgets.
What I’m interested in having on the plasmoid would be:
Time, date, and day of the week, based on the time zone and the language set in the operating system (so, for example, today, Tuesday, it displays the current time in the system language, instead of just English).
Weather conditions, perhaps with the option to enter the coordinates of your city, as in some widgets, or use services like openweathermap for the weather. Always use the system language if possible.
Total CPU usage and maximum CPU temperature. Perhaps even with different representations, such as a classic pie chart for total CPU usage, and a line chart for temperature. So far, I haven’t been able to find any widgets or options that would also show the CPU’s power consumption in watts, as is the case with the GPU. If possible, I’d add this to the pie chart as well.
Total GPU usage, power consumption, and maximum GPU and junction temperatures. I could also add VRAM usage. Besides providing basic GPU data (model, available VRAM), although the plasmoid model is a bit imprecise, it doesn’t recognize the exact model, at least for me.
Amount of system RAM and its usage, perhaps with a pie chart.
Data on the hard drive in use, hard drive size (512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB, etc.), occupied space, write and read speeds
In short, I’d like to put all this in a single plasmoid/widget rather than using different ones for each thing I need or want to see.
Is it complicated to implement?
My hardware is as follows:
