The slot graphs show the current transfer rates as percentage of the maximum reached transfer rate since the last installation or calibration of cFosSpeed.
The configuration of slots 1-10 (as a part of the cFosSpeed settings) can be accessed by either clicking on the "Open slot configuration dialog" button of the skin or using the "Options/Settings" menu entry of the systray icon. Each slot can be configured and renamed individually.
The transparent background of the status window can be replaced by an opaque one by applying (under Vista and Windows 7 with admin rights) the following changes to the files net.ini and net_l.ini in the directory [cFosSpeed install directory]\traffic_analysis_skin:
Line 7: background=background_blank(_l).tga -> ;background=background_blank(_l).tga
Line 8: ;background=background_color(_l).tga -> background=background_color(_l).tga
The files background_color(_l).tga (in the same directory) can be modified to your needs by using a suitable graphics program. The transparent area of the images must not be changed.

The brighter the indicator is visible the more Traffic Shaping is working for each of the transfer directions.
The horizontal bar graphs for upload and download show the current transfer as percentage of the maximum reached up-/download transfer rate since the last installation or calibration of cFosSpeed. The "total" and "local" transfer rates are related to running cFosSpeed in mulit-user mode. "Local" shows the transfer rates for the current computer only, "total" the amount of traffic within the local network.
The transparent background of the status window can be replaced by an opaque one by applying (under Vista and Windows 7 with admin rights) the following changes to the file net.ini in the directory [cFosSpeed install directory]\lc_history_skin:
Line 7: background=background.tga -> ;background=background.tga
Line 8: ;background=matrix.tga -> background=matrix.tga
The file matrix.tga (in the same directory) can be modified to your needs by using a suitable graphics program.
The vertical bar graphs scrolling from the right to the left show the history of transfer as percentage of the maximum reached up-/download transfer rate since the last installation or calibration of cFosSpeed. The "total" and "local" transfer rates are related to running cFosSpeed in mulit-user mode. "Local" shows the transfer rates for the current computer only, "total" the amount of traffic within the local network.
The other display methods are the same as in the "Liquid Crystal History" skin.
The transparent background of the status window can be replaced by an opaque one by applying (under Vista and Windows 7 with admin rights) the following changes to the file net.ini in the directory [cFosSpeed install directory]\liquid_crystal_skin:
Line 7: background=background.tga -> ;background=background.tga
Line 8: ;background=matrix.tga -> background=matrix.tga
The file matrix.tga (in the same directory) can be modified to your needs by using a suitable graphics program.
The standard skin has been designed to track the data stream graphically.
¹ Ping times are represented by green, yellow, or red waves in the standard skin's graphical display.
Actual ping times depend in significant part on the number of simultaneous up- and downloads.
If this number rises, latency will likely increase as well.
To reach maximum transfer rates during download, the ping time for each download must therefore be raised briefly.
By clicking on the corresponding buttons, it is possible to toggle between graphical and numerical skin display.
Switching between Skins:
At the Windows-Settings into the context menu, you can switch between different Skins by
NetX and
You can swith between the 3 states of the Icon Skin and point out different Displays. The position of the switch is in the middle of the skin (see picture).
This compact skin was design by a cFosSpeed user, who just modified the Liquid Crystal.
