The current testing release of awn-extras (ppa:/awn-testing) has some new features -

  • Applet width
  • Applet graph toggle
  • Size override
  • Applet/Dialog trafic/signal scale
Here is a screenshot -

AWN Bandwidth monitor changes

I have recently (okay, a month or 2 ago..) made some changes to the bandwidth monitor for the Avant Window Navigator. I posted some video of the changes, and explain most of the changes on in the description to the screenshots/videos.

You can access the screenshots/videos/examples here: http://www.curetheitch.com/projects/awn-bwm/example/

 

Bugfix: First interface not parsed on non-English systems

The first interface listed in the output of netstat was not being parsed by bandwidth-monitor on systems with a non-English language setting. This occurs because the output is stripped of non-interface related (verbose) output, which foolishly assumes everybody uses English... stupid mistake on my part.

I changed the stripping of non-interface information to occur based on the absence of required information instead of the presence of extraneous information.

Fixed. Thanks to the user who reported this bug!

  • Change logic to graph calculation which corrects the following rendering issues -
    1. Graph lines drawing outside of border/frame
    2. Graph normalised top-value was rendering off-screen when applet size smaller than 35
    3. Graph normalised top-value was rendering very low on the graph when applet size greater than 60
  • Changed scaling of initial icon - it was rendering too large and centered text was displayed with an odd alignment to the dock
  • Fixed some issues with default values
  • Changed short-name to 'bandwidth-monitor' to match schema file
  • Corrected path to UI file

  • Added preferences to control -
    1.     Enable/Disable drawing of the background
    2.     Enable/Disable drawing of the border
    3.     Select color/opacity of background
    4.     Select color/opacity of border
    5.     Options to control the text representation of throughput
