Looks like things are probably as good as they're going to get, so I think I'll mark this as solved (sorta).

Oh, I just discovered that the width of the netload plugin bars chages depending on which theme is set in Appearance.

FWIW: They're wide with the cinnabar and darkpurpy themes and narrow with the plain Clearlooks theme. Presence or absence of gtk2/3-engines-xfce makes no difference.

Wide with clearlooks-phenix-theme, too, so it's something we inherited.

Here's my cpugraph and panel info:

As you can see from my (hopefully) now readable screenshot, every plugin that shows a bar has a fat bar.

I'll take a look at transfersh.com.

Thanks,

Some of us use transfersh.com for sharing images. I'm happy with anything that doesn't require javascript.

That's really weird that you get it on the cpugraph-plugin. Are you sure you're on beowulf and not chimaera/ceres?

I'm pretty sure I've seen screenshots here.What is the right way to upload one? At any rate, looking thru ~/.config/xfce4/panel/, I don't see anything to adjust size. The fatness seems to apply to all bars. My cpu, mem, and swap displays are all fat.

Thanks again,

Just great.  Something else to block.  Anyway to disable it?

You would probably have to edit the source code and recompile the package to change the size of the bars.

Warning: Whoever thought that was a good idea has apparently infected whoever makes the cpugraph plugin, because those bars are wide in chimaera. I can't wait to see eight wide bars on my hyperthreaded quad-core.

Why don't we have a face-palm smiley?

Thanks again,
