Is your feature request related to a problem?

The RAM indicator (and probably other values too) tray icon show 0 decimals for the number of GB used/left.

I'd need more precision, generally I display 1 decimal. In fact, the main window shows 1 decimal so the tray icon is less precise.

Ex: Available Memory is "6.1 GB" but shows just "6" in the tray

How would you like the problem to be solved?

  • add 1 decimal to Used/Available Memory by default
  • generally speaking, try to show the same precision in panel and tray (unless the number becomes so long that it gets cut - it's not the case with Available Memory which is just "6.1 GB" in my case)

What alternatives have you considered?

The Gadget shows more information but I need something visible at all times in my tray.
I considered other indicators like CoreTemp which is able to show 1 decimal, but if I can avoid installing too many of them, it's better.

Additional information

I'd also like to show the suffix "GB" if possible, to distinguish it from my temperature indicator in Celsius degrees, but it feels like this should be another request.

However it's important to keep in mind because the unit suffix will occupy some space too.

The best is probably to fit the full text in 2 lines:

  • 1 line for the numbers with digits e.g. "6.1" or even "12.3" if it fits
  • 1 line below for the unit e.g. "GB"

I think all of this could fit in a small square tray indicator.
