Replacement for system monitor applet for 17.10
When using 17.04 I used the system monitor applet to provide at a glance monitoring. CPU, Memory, Network etc
When I upgraded to 17.10 this applet became unusable as it was far too small to be practical. I tried to tweak it but nothing worked.
Is there a suitable replacement in 17.10?
I have tried installing the gnome extension system monitor but have not succeeded.
This one installs but it does not give me bars. I have to open it to see the stats.
This one complains about missing dependencies even though when all the requested dependencies are installed.

System monitor gnome extension works fine, you just have to remove indicator-multiload via apt-get, which was blocking it from working and relogin afterwards. Command I used is:
sudo apt-get remove indicator-multiload
