Inspired by:
- https://github.com/kotelnik/plasma-applet-thermal-monitor
- and its fork https://gitlab.com/agurenko/plasma-applet-thermal-monitor
This applet uses libksysguard for retrieving temperature information provided by ksystemstats.
Usage
Add the applet to either the panel or the desktop. To add sensors to display, right click the applet and configure.
Sensors can be added and renamed through the "Add Sensors…" button. To export sensors to the clipboard, and copy from, the import/export options can be used.
The libraries ksystemstats, libksysguard, kitemmodels and kdeclarative must be installed.

8 Thank you very much for your work! I have been waiting for a new implementation of Thermal Monitor since Plasma 5.22 and intend to use it both in the Plasma panel and the Latte Dock panel in the future. Some (hopefully constuctive) criticism: - i think to have observed that if you use a different font than Noto Sans the different temperature "segments" move slightly from right to left (and back) when the numbers change (with more than one temperature displayed side by side). This does not happen with the "old" Thermal Monitor" and the old "Thermal Monitor Fix". - If your panel height is less than 40 px the labelling vanishes. To avoid that and to have a more flexible layout perhaps it would generally be possible to adjust both the pixel size of the temperature and the labelling manually in a future version? Perhaps even to have the choice to display the labelling above the temperature? - I would also like to have the option to completely hide the "C"/"F"/"K" after the temperature. That said, thank you again for all the time you must have invested by now. And thank you for even making a Plasma 6 version!
I can look into how the numbers handle text widths - I had originally handled different width numbers, but opted not to do so because Noto Sans didn't have an issue there. My goal with the text sizes is to match and complement the Media Player widget, but I can add further customisation. I designed it so that it could be more dynamic, and that can include hiding units and swapping the temperature/label. I actually developed this for Plasma 6 originally - it had to be ported to Plasma 5!
Thank you very much for your answer and for considering it. I am looking forward to some changes - if you enjoy it to include them. Back-"ported to Plasma 5"… Wicked! :-)
10 Finally the applet I was looking for. Thanks a lot
