System Monitor Sensors too small and abbreviated on 6.1

Hello,

I updated to 6.1 1 hour ago.
Now, my system monitor sensors are abbreviated - I can’t read them.
The font was also bigger before the update. (It only uses half of the panel now)

Of course, I tried to

  • remove and re insert the widget
  • as well as changing the panel height
    before writing this into the forum. It didn’t fix it.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks!

I confirm, I had a top panel of 24px height with some sensor widgets showing Memory Usage and Total CPU usage and 2 separators between, that looked like this:

With the update to 6.1 it looks like this now

The text of the widgets is being shown only if I set the panel height to 40px, which obviously destroys any concept and usefulness of a thin panel and looks ugly with gigantic everything else. Additionally the text is now “squeezed” to fit into the pie making it even more smaller.

Btw it was OK with the beta 6.0.90.

Ok nice, it’s not just me!

When I change my panel height to 40px, the text doesn’t get bigger - It also doesn’t fix it (my sensors are “Text only”).

Also, how did you manage to create a 24px panel? My smallest possible size is 32px.

Strange, 20px is the minimum for me.

That’s interesting.
As you can see, the “minus” is greyed out. Do you have a screen which is > 1080p?

If that’s the cause, that’s good to know.

No, on the contrary, my resolution is 1680x1050. :thinking:

Haha okay, I also have no idea then.

Hey,

I had this same problem and I was able to fix the abbreviation part and the alignment thing but not the size.

How to make it happen:

Also you are going to have to change the padding values until it is perfectly centered on your screen.

This is a known issue, currently under investigation. See 488816 – On a horizontal panel, "Text Only" system monitor sensor widgets have dramatically reduced text size compared to 6.0, and are top-aligned
