Well, I kinda miss a feature in the cpu graph applet.

While I often have niced background jobs running, the applect practically shows a filled-up rectangle all the time. It would be nice if I could differenciate between niced background jobs and "real" activity, proposingly with another colour/background.
I think I actually saw this in the according kde applet; you can use a light color which covers the background and a darker one in front. Imo this is a reasonable solution.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compare xfce's cpu graph plugin to the one from kde (configured to show niced jobs)




I'm using the applet from yesterday's svn checkout, but I guess that's not important here.

While I agree this would be a nice feature to have, the current internals of cpugraph are not well designed for that, which means this feature would require significant work.

I don't really think I have enough time to do this properly right now, so I'll close this as wontfix, but if I ever get the time to do the next generation monitor for xfce, I'll keep this in mind.
