Created attachment 9795 ugly patch Today it is common to have a CPU with 16+ cores/threads (mine Ryzen 3900X has 24) which makes current usage bars to take big space on the panel. My proposal is to make these bars densier. It won't be probably possible without replacing gtk_progress_bar with custom widget and drawing bars as strokes. I have "hacked" the code for a proof of concept. Please see the diff and the attached image how does it look like. For the simplification I have sacrified the graph area.

I am willing to imlpement it but I expect that somebody could propose a design for additional settings. I propose that settings could contain width, spacing and background color of the bars. Note that I never worked with Xfce code or GTK before.
