    I still love this little app! I like the new icon and skins. The problem I had a few versions ago are gone. Thanks for the great upkeep/work.

    New skin (actually the new slots feature) is a nice idea, but the actual skin is not too great, imho. On the gray background the lines are barely seen AND the grey itself doesn't look "slick" (as the former default Liquid Crystal skin). But well, overall I am as usually happy to see that the program is being SO actively developed!

    @Gawd21: There was a problem with windows awhile back.
    Search their forums for 'Game Mode'

    A fine tool that I have run since it was first released.
    Now, if you have a router with QoS, supposedly you don't need this. I'd rather have this running on all machines personally.

    gawd21:
    Are you sure this is not a system-specific problem (=something on your side)? I'm running a laptop with Win7 Pro x64 and a desktop with Win7 Ult x64, on both window stays up just fine.

    ! New skin: cFosSpeed now comes with a traffic meter skin. It allows
    fine grained real-time traffic analysis. The skin comes in two sizes:
    small to get a quick overview and large for detailed analysis. Each skin
    draws up to 10 graphs. To enable/disable a graph line click on the
    'legend' button on the left border to open the left pane. Then click on
    the text for each colour to enable/disable the respective graph.

    Each graph displays the value of a certain traffic "slot", where the volume
    of traffic of certain programs and protocols is counted. You can setup
    which traffic goes to which slot (and is thereby drawn by which graph)
    in the slot setup dialog. In this Beta version the slot dialog is sometimes
    hard to use, but we are improving the slot setup dialog in upcoming
    versions.
    + New slot commands: you can set up the slots from the spd command line as
    well. To do so, you can use the following commands. All commands begin
    with "spd slot ":

    get/set name
    get/set/add protocols
    get/set/add programs
    get/set mode get/set the traffic counting mode. available modes are:
    tx, rx, max, total_tx, total_rx, total_max
    'max' modes display rx or tx, whichever is faster in percent
    'total' modes display all traffic, ignoring protocol/program settings
    unused protocols display protocols that have not been assigned to a slot
    unused programs display program names that have not been assigned to a slot
    save save all slot settings to user.ini
    reload load all slot settings from user.ini
    + Added new skin functionality: you can now draw lines and set text with
    arbitrary fonts in your system.
    x Pinger icmp_km was broken in build 1553. Fixed.

    I still love this, but in the 64 bit for W7, the window won't stay open no matter what you do. I have been using this for 4 years now. I depend on it to see my traffic. Could you guys fix this?

    Thanks.

    @Diam0nd

    This is a clean install of W7 Pro 64 bit. I installed it, added my key and password. I checked clickthough and always on top. Auto hide is unchecked.

    I do not believe that it is a system problem. I did not have any problems with this in the past.

    Reinstalled it, did not help.

    However, 4.53.1556 is working correctly.
