Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

NetSpeedTray v1.1.7

A free program that displays live upload/download speeds directly on the Windows Taskbar.




Features:
💻 Lightweight & Efficient: Sits quietly in your system tray without hogging resources.
✨ Windows Native Look & Feel: Designed to blend in perfectly with the Windows 10/11 UI.
🚀 Intelligent & Stable Positioning: Rock-solid positioning logic ensures no flickering or "fighting" with the cursor.
🎨 Total Customization:
Free Move Mode: Unlock the widget and place it anywhere on your screen.
Mini-Graph: An optional, real-time graph displayed directly on the widget.
Color Coding: Set custom colors and speed thresholds.
Text Control: Fine-tune the text alignment, decimal precision, and number format.
📈 Detailed History Graph: Double-click the widget to open a full history of your network activity.
⚙️ Highly Configurable: Adjust the update rate, enable/disable auto-start, and more.

Usage:

The Widget:
The core of NetSpeedTray. It sits on your taskbar, showing your live network speeds.
Right-click to access Settings or Exit.
Double-click to open the full history graph.




Positioning Modes:
Adaptive Tray Mode (Default): The widget is locked to your taskbar. Left-click and drag it horizontally to set your preferred distance from the system tray icons.
Free Move Mode: Enable this in the settings to unlock the widget and place it anywhere.

Modern Settings:
A clean, modern UI to control every aspect of the widget's appearance and behavior.




Detailed History Graph:
Double-click the widget to see a detailed graph of your network history.




Changes:
v1.1.7
🚀 Major Graph Window Overhaul
Definitive Visualization: The graph has been completely redesigned to solve the core problem of displaying asymmetric network speeds.
Dual-Axis Layout: The graph is now split into two dedicated, independently-scaled charts for Download and Upload, ensuring that upload activity is always perfectly visible.
Hybrid Rendering Engine: The graph uses a smart, hybrid approach for visualization. Short timelines are rendered as detailed line plots, while long timelines (e.g., "Month") are rendered as a beautiful Mean & Range Plot.
Massive Performance Improvements: The entire data pipeline is now asynchronous. The graph window opens instantly, and data is fetched in a background worker thread, eliminating all UI freezes.
Full Interactivity & Polish:
Synchronized Crosshair & Live Tooltip: Hovering the mouse on the graph now displays a synchronized crosshair and a live tooltip showing the precise timestamp and speeds.
Intelligent X-Axis Formatting: The time axis on the graph is now much cleaner and more intuitive, with sensible, explicit intervals for each timeline (e.g., ticks every 3 hours for the 24-hour view).
Corrected Interface Filtering: Fixed a critical bug where selecting different network interfaces would incorrectly show the same aggregated data for all of them.
Fixed Live Update: Solved a bug where the "Live Update" feature would not work on the first open, requiring the user to toggle it off and on again.

🛡️ Core Stability & System Resilience
Definitive Fix for "Phantom" Speed Spikes: Implemented a new multi-stage "re-priming" state to permanently fix the bug where impossible network speeds would be recorded after the computer resumed from sleep or experienced heavy lag.
Resilience to Explorer & Display Changes:
Fixed a major bug where the widget would disappear permanently or move to the wrong position after explorer.exe was restarted. The application is now significantly more resilient to these events.
Fixed a critical bug where using a KVM switch or disconnecting a monitor would cause the widget to disappear permanently. The application now correctly detects display changes and recovers automatically.
Fixed a silent crash on startup that could occur on some systems due to the new display change detection logic.
Fixed "Zombie" Process Bug: Solved a critical issue where closing the graph window could also incorrectly close the main widget, leaving a lingering "zombie" process running.
Fixed "0 Mbps" Bug: Fixed a logic error that caused the meter to show 0.00 Mbps for users with a very fast update_rate.
Fixed Installer & UI Glitches:
Corrected a bug in the installer that prevented the Start Menu shortcut from being created on a fresh installation.
Resolved an issue where the widget would incorrectly move position after the user clicked the "Show hidden icons" tray chevron.
Fixed a visual glitch that could cause duplicated "Apply" and "Cancel" buttons to appear in the settings dialog.
