9 It's nice, but can you add an option to hide it by itself when there is no network activity? I mean there is no point in looking at a 0.0B all the time.

I have installed the Netspeed Widget but is not working. It shows the following error.
Error loading QML file: file:///home/kira/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.netspeedWidget/contents/ui/main.qml:45:37: Type CompactRepresentation unavailable
file:///home/kira/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.netspeedWidget/contents/ui/CompactRepresentation.qml:20:1: module "org.kde.plasma.private.quicklaunch" is not installed
I am not sure which dependency it is asking to install. Thanks in advance for help.

Just love this widget, but I have a little problem. I'm not able to stack the upload on top of download speed (or the inverse). They just stick beside one another even if I change font measure to a very little value as 5%. Someone has suggestions on how to solve this problem? Maybe some configurations file to tweak..

The speeds are shown on top of each other or side by side depending on the height of the widget and the minimum font size set up in the kde system settings. You can overwrite this though starting with version 1.7 using the "Layout" option in the settings dialog.
