Open your Plasma widgetes and select Py Text Monitor.
You may use different colors for labels. Just put label text into html code. See issue for more details.
Numbering of elements of temperature, HDD usage, HDD speed, HDD temperature refers to elements order from second tab (Advanced settings). You should add item to the required listWidget first. And the first element in the listWidget will be $tag0. See issue for more details.
You may edit DataEngine configuration. It is /usr/share/config/extsysmon.conf or $HOME/.kde4/share/config/extsysmon.conf depending on the type of installation. Uncomment needed line and edit it.
