How to show the graph as a histogram and make it more compact

Started by Raymond

Hi, the old version of NetWorx allowed me to have graph on my Windows 11 desktop (not taskbar) which displayed download rates on a histogram. How can I get that back? That is my primary reason for using NetWorx.

Also, I shrink the graph a lot for my use, but in the new version the graph lines almost disappear when they get too small.

Thanks

It sounds like you are referring to the graph style displayed on the desktop. In earlier versions of NetWorx, the default was histogram (bar graph), but in newer versions this has changed to polyline (line graph). You can easily switch back to the histogram view by going to Settings - Graph tab, and then selecting Histogram in the Graph type section:

To make the graph more compact, you can hide the toolbar and the window title bar, which will significantly reduce its size:

You can also set a smaller font size to shrink the graph even more:

That's perfect. It is the way I want it.
Thank you so much.
