Simple KDE Plasma Command Set widget based from Zren's "Command Output" that displays:
- CPU Usage
- RAM Usage
- Disk Usage
- Storage Usage
- CPU Temperature
This widget can be attached on the Desktop or the Panel.
- "Command Output" Widget
- Have Nerd Fonts Installed (for icons)
- Utility Linux Programs

$ cd ~/Downloads
$ git clone https://github.com/yoelwep13578/Resource-Viewer-Plasma-Widget
$ cd ./Resource-Viewer-Plasma-Widget
To keep it simple, you can move the Scripts folder to /home/yourname/
$ mv ./Scripts ~/
Since this is based on the Output Command, it needs to be installed first. Install it using one of the methods below:
- Pling
- Github
- Or you can install it automatically with Right Click Desktop --> Enter Edit Mode --> Add Widgets --> Get New Widgets --> Download New Plasma Widgets and search with "Command Output" keyword.
Nerd Font is a font with additional icon sets, like in this Nerd Fonts Cheat Sheet. It needs to be installed for some icons to render correctly. You can download & choose it from Nerd Font with your preference.
If you confused, you can use these example:
After downloaded the zip file, just extract all TTFs to the Desktop temporarily. Then, install (move) using this command:
$ sudo mv /home/yourname/Desktop/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/TTF/
Sometimes, you need to run
fc-cache, logout, or restarting system to refresh any changes
Each widget displaying CPU, RAM, Disk, Storage, and Temperature requires a separate Command Output Widget. This means you can use them according to your needs and place them freely.
For example, if you want to display only CPU and RAM, simply attach 2 Command Output Widgets and place them wherever you like.
Another example: if you want to display all of them, you will need to attach 5 Command Output Widgets. You can't use 1 Widget to display all 5 at once. If you want them in one place, you can group all 5 Command Output Widgets using the "Grouping Plasmoid" widget (only works when attached to the desktop).
In this repository, the directory structure is as follows:
Resource-Viewer-Plasma-Widget
└── Scripts
├── CPU Usage
│ └── CPU-Usage.sh
├── RAM Usage
│ └── RAM-Usage.sh
├── Disk Usage
│ └── Disk-Usage.sh
├── Storage Usage
│ └── Storage-Usage.sh
└── Temperature
└── Temperature.sh
And this is what it looks like after you move the Scripts folder to your Home directory:
home
└── yourname
└── Scripts
├── CPU Usage
│ └── CPU-Usage.sh
├── RAM Usage
│ └── RAM-Usage.sh
├── Disk Usage
│ └── Disk-Usage.sh
├── Storage Usage
│ └── Storage-Usage.sh
└── Temperature
└── Temperature.sh
You only need to focus on the Scripts folder and its contents. The command sets for CPU, RAM, Disk, Storage, and Temperature are already there.
For example, you’ve attached 2 Command Output Widgets and want to display CPU and RAM. To do this, Right Click --> Configure Command Output --> In the Command section, enter
bashfollowed by the location of theCPU-Usage.shfile:bash "/home/yourname/Scripts/CPU Usage/CPU-Usage.sh"Do the same for the other Command Output Widget, filling in bash and the location of the RAM-Usage.sh file:
bash "/home/yourname/Scripts/Disk Usage/Disk-Usage.sh"
What if you want to display all five? It’s simple. Make sure you’ve attached 5 Command Output Widgets --> Then configure each widget --> Provide the command with
bashand the location of each.shfile:[1] bash "/home/yourname/Scripts/CPU Usage/CPU-Usage.sh" [2] bash "/home/yourname/Scripts/RAM Usage/RAM-Usage.sh" [3] bash "/home/yourname/Scripts/Disk Usage/Disk-Usage.sh" [4] bash "/home/yourname/Scripts/Storage Usage/Storage-Usage.sh" [5] bash "/home/yourname/Scripts/Temperature/Temperature.sh"
- Icon Mode: Displays the icon followed by the value
- Inline Text Mode: Displays the title followed by the value on one line
- Breakline Text Mode: Displays the title followed by the value on two lines
- Percent: Displays the value as a percentage only
- Percent + Size: Displays the value as a percentage and the current size in use
- Percent + Capacity: Displays the value as a percentage and the total/max size capacity
- Percent + Details: Displays the value as a percentage and detailed text
- Percent + Speed: Displays the value as a percentage and current speed details
- Size: Displays the value as size in use only
- Temp: Displays the current temperature only
- Speed: Displays the current speed only
- Size + Capacity: Displays the value as size in use and the total/max size capacity
- GB --> Data size in Gigabytes
- GiB --> Data size in Gibibytes
- C --> Temperature in Celsius
- F --> Temperature in Fahrenheit
- The separator can be any character you want. By default, the separator is " | ". You can adjust it to your creativity!
The separator will not be displayed if "Show As" uses a single value (does not include a second value).
- By default, the title usually contains text that identifies itself, followed by ":". For example,
CPU:,RAM:,Temp:, etc. You can change it to whatever you like!
TextMode Title will not appear in Icon Mode.
- By default, the icon uses hex code of Nerd Font Icons. You can change it with other Nerd Font Icons (as hex or exact character), emoji, unicode symbol, etc.
Icon will not appear in Text Mode.
- Default value is
1. You can change it with integer numbers.
- Enabled: This will convert size values to KB, MB, GB, TB or KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB depending on the condition.
- Disabled: This will keep the value in GB or GiB.
- Can be set to the disk whose activity you want to monitor. The default is
/dev/sda. You can set it to another disk if you have more than one.
- Overall: Calculates total storage usage and capacity across mounted partitions and disks.
- Can be set to a disk such as
/dev/sda, to get the usage and capacity for that disk. - Can be set to a partition such as
/dev/sda9, to get the usage and capacity for that partition.
Note
Since this data retrieved using fd, this only works with mounted partitions
- All CPU: Fetches the average usage of all cores.
- Inputting a core number like
0fetches the usage for that core only.
- All CPU: The average temperature of all cores, fetched from Sensors --> Package 0.
- Inputting a core number like
0fetches the temperature for that core. - Overall: The room temperature inside the computer case, usually fetched from
acpitz-acpi-0.
