Terminal in a plasmoid.
Run your favourite shell or terminal applications like nethogs, htop, colortail etc. on your desktop as a widget/plasmoid.
qmltermwidget
package is required as this is the core of the plasmoid.
Note: Latest qmltermwidget

Please use the 0.1.0 release or Commit 08958f7 which is known to work.

Install version 0.1.0 using
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/q/qmltermwidget/qmltermwidget-0.1.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
