NetSpeed 2.0 App 🌐🚀

NetSpeed 2.0 is a network speed monitoring application that tracks real-time download and upload speeds. With a sleek, customizable interface and system tray integration, it's designed to be lightweight and easy to use while providing essential network performance insights.

Features

• Real-Time Network Speed Monitoring: Displays live upload and download speeds.
• Customizable User Interface: Change font style, font size, and text color.
• System Tray Integration: Access app functionality from the system tray.
• Transparent, Frameless Window: Place the app anywhere on your screen with a transparent background.
• Lightweight and Efficient: Low system resource consumption.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Libraries:
• psutil: For retrieving system and network statistics.
• pystray: For system tray integration.
• Pillow: For handling images/icons.
• pywin32: For Windows-specific system features.
• tkinter: For the graphical user interface (GUI).

Install Dependencies

To install the required dependencies, use the following command:

pip install psutil pystray Pillow pywin32

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

bash git clone https://github.com/Roshangedam/NetSpeed-2.0.git

1. Navigate to the project directory:

bash cd NetSpeed-2.0

1. Run the application:

bash python main.py

The app will now display real-time network speeds in the system tray.

Usage

Once the app is running, you'll see your real-time network speeds (upload and download) in the transparent window. The system tray icon allows access to a context menu with the following options:

• Change Font: Adjust the font style.
• Change Font Size: Modify the font size.
• Change Text Color: Choose the text color.
• Toggle Transparency: Enable/disable the transparent background.
• Exit: Close the application.

Configuration

Settings like font, color, and transparency are saved locally in a configuration file. You can edit this file directly if needed, or reset the settings via the app interface.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

• Network speeds not showing: Ensure that your internet connection is active and that the necessary libraries are installed.
• Settings not saving: Check the file permissions for the settings configuration file.

If you encounter other issues, please open an issue in the GitHub repository.
