Text visibility
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Description
First of all, amazing extension! Absolutely love it, but I want to ask, is it possible to make text more readable in the top bar? It appears grey - super hard to read the data.
Text is grey, barely visible for download/upload speed, also CPU, GPU temperatures.
Environment
- Astra Monitor Version: 3
- GNOME Version: 45.2
- Operating System and Version: Ubuntu 23.10
- Other Relevant System Information:
Thank you for your kind words. I actually don't change the font, the extension uses the default font from the system. I would like to add more customization options in the next version, including icons and colors. Font customization could be added on the list (style, color, size, etc.). I'm not really sure how much will it take to add a full customization option for texts and fonts, but I will try to make it fit for the next release. I will keep you updated.
My problem may be related to this.
I had setup Show IO Speed in Network and Storage. Initially they worked fine: Two lines for each speed and they were very readable.
After restart, however, they were messed up:
I tried to toggle the Show IO Speed switches several times, nothing changed; the problem persisted.
Eventually, I disabled Astra Monitor from Extensions, then re-enabled it and the problem was fixed:
That's a very interesting bug, but unrelated with OP.
It's not easy to adapt settings in real time, many extensions require a restart after this kind of changes.
It's hard for me to fix that without a clear way on how to reproduce it.
How often does it occur?

It seems that this problem is repeated after each login. However, I am using the Dash to Panel GNOME extension and it may be the cause (not 100% sure though). When I disable Dash to Panel the problem sometimes is fixed, but sometimes is not. When I enable Dash to Panel, then the problem repeats itself almost always.
Disabling Astra Monitor and re-enabling it seems to solve the problem (always?).
I am thinking that there is something wrong with the line terminator between the two lines. They are displayed like:
xxxxxx
yyyyyy
or
xxxxxxyyyyyy
while they should like:
xxxxxx
yyyyyy
@fedkad There is no line terminator, they are two different labels in a BoxLayout so that should never occur. I made a blind attempt of fixing that in the next release. If that persists open a new issue so I can keep track of that cuz I'm gonna close this one soon for implementing what OP asked for.
@cybbro next version will add an option to override header's font family and size:
