+- **TX/RX Activity Indicators**: Icons for TX and RX with active/idle coloring based on a configurable traffic threshold.
+- **Vertical and Horizontal Layouts**: Configurable cell grid: arrange up to four cells (TX icon, RX icon, TX speed, RX speed) in a horizontal row or a 2×2 grid. Cells can be left empty to show only icons or only values.
+- **Network Graph Panel**: Click on the widget to open a live graph panel showing recent RX and TX history.
 - **Custom Font**: Override the default font for speed values, with optional bold and italic styles.

-- **Force Megabytes**: Always display values in MB/s instead of switching to KB/s at low traffic levels.

-- **Minimum Width**: Set a minimum width for the widget to prevent resizing when values change.
-- **Content Margin**: Horizontal padding on both sides of the widget content.

-- **Vertical Spacing**: Adjust the spacing between the TX and RX elements.
-- **Font Size Modifier**: Scale the text size.

-- **Custom Font**: Override the default font with any installed font, with bold and italic options.

 - The widget reads `SystemStatService.txSpeed` and `SystemStatService.rxSpeed`; the polling interval is determined by that service.
 - The graph panel uses `SystemStatService.rxSpeedHistory` and `SystemStatService.txSpeedHistory` with `NGraph` from the Noctalia Shell.
-- The panel opens on hover with a short delay and closes automatically when the cursor leaves the widget.
+- Unfortunately, the update interval `SystemStatService.networkIntervalMs` is currently hardcoded to `3000` by Noctalia.
