Graph size and always on top

Graph size and always on top   17 February 2014, 15:15

Hi,

1. I am displaying the graph with type 'Numeric' and placing it at the top of the screen, I am making the height as small as possible but when the program is restarted the height grows about 4 or 5 pixels.

2. I have set the Always on top to ticked but I am finding that its not visible sometimes until I click on the system tray icon and then it reapers.

What I would like is to be able to have the graph at the top of the screen small enough that it fits on the titlebar of the applications I run, even at its smallest because of the form border it bigger than the titlebar.

is there anything I can do about these?

1. Sorry, this doesn't seem to be reproducible on a standard configuration. Do you use any specific graph settings (borderless, click-through,...)?

2. It seems to a bug in a third-party component library NetWorx is using. We may only be able to fix it when we update it to a newer version.

Thank for the reply,

Yes I am using special settings:

Settings -> Graph tab
Always on top is checked
Display window title bar is unchecked
Windows Opacity is unchecked
Display animated usage bars is checked
Graph type is numeric

Graph in tray icon is unchecked
Left to Right is unchecked
Enable grid & axes is checked
Minute ticks is unchecked
Fixed y-axis scale is 500 KB
Transfer rate unit is Bytes/s

attached is a picture, the first picture is the size on starting the software, the second smaller one is the picture after I resize it, the size difference is 5 pixels.

Thanks
Rodney

Hi Rodney,

Thank you, I have been able to reproduce it. Fixing it however seems a bit tricky.

I have traced it to the point of setting the window height of 33 px, but for some reason it gets set to 39 px. It appears to be a bug in the component library NetWorx was built on.

I guess in the meantime there's nothing we can do about it.

Hi Andrew,

Any chance that when you fix this problem you could get the minimum height down to 26 px?
That way it will fit into the title bar of a maximized window (Windows 7).

Thank
Rodney
