===== Usage =====

  - [[:xfce:xfce4-panel:add-new-items|Add the plugin to the panel]].
  - Right-click on the added plugin, select **Properties** to open the settings window.  


There are three sections:

  - In the first section, specify which device monitor, the label and the update interval in seconds;
  - In the second section, specify which activity to monitor; selecting {gui>I/O transfer} (it is the default) will alow for inserting a max rate;
  - In the last section, if a combined bar is used for reading and writing or two separate bars; or, if a single bar is preferred, the bar orders and colors can be customised.
