Title: [SOLVED] System Load Monitor Bar colors not working ?
Post by: wirefox on January 15, 2015, 02:02:33 PM
Installed Xfce-goodies and can't get the bar indicators in the  System Load Monitor  to work but if I mouse over they show the correct text info, any ideas what is missing ?

Hi Wirefox,

What version of the plugin are you running? I don't have access to the system load monitor but my guess is that you're using an older version. From what I can see - version 1.1.1, released 2012/6/30 - is in the repository. I could be completely wrong so please post back and let me know.

If you do happen to be running an older version you could be in luck - it looks like version 0.4, released 2014/6/14 is available via PPA, look here:

and here:

Hopefully this will help get your problem fixed. Please post back and let us know.

P.S.
As an alternative Linux Lite makes use of "Resource Usage," that is installed by default and can be found here:

Scott thx for the help, I  got it working by changing the style in Appearance, the two Mediterranean styles prevent the bar colors from working om my box.
