Tips

If you cannot reach the menu on the floating window because click-through is on, use the tray icon.
Menu labels may differ slightly depending on the interface language you choose.

New to the program? Start with getting started.

The NetSpeedDisplay tray icon shows speeds in a tooltip and shows or hides the floating window.

Change the font, size, bold, taskbar and main window colors and opacity from the Appearance menu of NetSpeedDisplay.
