✨ NetSpeedTray 2.2.0

Your history is now exact, the widget works with every Windows 11 taskbar position, and it uses much less memory. On 2.1.7 this one installs itself: click Download and it's done. After the update the app comes back as you, not as administrator.

Highlights

  • Exact history, in a file about a quarter the size. The first launch converts your 2.1 history in seconds and keeps the old file as a backup.
  • Every taskbar position. Top, left, right and the Small taskbar. Move or resize it and the widget follows, no restart. Thanks @un99known99.
  • Much less memory. Roughly half of what 2.1.7 used, and Settings and the Monitor give their memory back when you close them.
  • Out of the way of your apps. When your app buttons reach the widget it steps aside, and comes back when there's room. Thanks @relu616.
  • A hover card with CPU, GPU, memory and battery, so the taskbar can show just your network speed. Thanks @kamal63442.
  • Check connection tells you whether packet loss starts on your Wi-Fi or beyond it.
  • Current LibreHardwareMonitor works for temperatures and power (turn on its Remote Web Server). Thanks @emgeka.

Top fixes

  • The widget comes back on its own when the taskbar covers it. Thanks @kamal63442 and @pasharm.
  • No more flashes over fullscreen videos and games. Thanks @kamal63442.
  • The installed app is signed, so a clean install runs with Smart App Control on. Thanks @Keltian.
  • A wrong PC clock can't wipe your history anymore.
  • GPU usage matches Task Manager. Thanks @ivLis-Studio.

Heads up

  • History totals read lower than 2.1.x showed. Nothing was lost: 2.1.x over-counted quiet minutes. Your data-cap figure doesn't change.
  • Going back to 2.1.x shows your history but records nothing until you restore the backup. DATABASE.md has the steps.
  • New defaults: the font (Segoe UI Variable, like the clock), the High/Medium/Low colors and the Trend mini graph. Colors and fonts you picked are kept.

There's a lot more, including multi-monitor fixes, data usage by day/month/year, Bengali and a reorganized Settings. It's all in the changelog.
