Since I switched to KDE years ago, I've always been irritated by the fact the widget graphs overlap the text at the top of the widget.

For instance, the Network and Hard Disk I/O Monitors will peak and the bright green washes out the text showing MiB/s so I can't read the value. And since the graph adjusts dynamically, there is no way to determine if it's at 10, 100, 1000 KiB/s or MiB/s because the graph size changes and the text is unreadable. If I transfer a large file to my NAS server, it maxes the graph and I presume it's moving at about 1 gbps over the network, but I can't read the text to confirm what it's really showing.

In the Hard Disk I/O Monitor it's made even worse because the assigned name of the drive will be overlapped by the up/dn speed text jumbling up the line so it's unreadable even if the graph line doesn't obscure it.

This is just sloppy design and it's not been fixed over multiple versions of the system.

Submitted wishlist request at KDE.org

Turns out this won't be fixed for Plasma 5.18 as 5.19 has new widgets and corrects this complaint. Just need to wait till the next LTS is ready in another year as I need a stable daily driver.

LTS doesn't just mean stable, it means Long Term Support, the current 20.10 release is certainly very stable, so will the upcoming 21.04 be. I currently run the development version of it and haven't seen a single snag that would prevent me from using it as a "daily driver"
