This new version makes an assortment of improvements, fixes, and adds a current memory load bar graph to the right of the main graph. I must say the painting and sizing code became highly frustrating at times. I ended up doing most of it manually as I couldn't get Windows to do it like I wanted. The good news is I ripped the guts out and the entirety of the window painting is done a little better now. It is times like these when I wish I used third-party libraries or free code to make my life easy ;o.
Sadly, I'll likely do another rewrite of this as I think I can make it much smoother and less CPU intensive. For those with slow machines, be sure to remember hiding the graphs will reduce CPU utilization by the GUI when visible.
Anyway, this is a big hurdle, even though it isn't perfect as I'd like (yet). The graph tooltips are all ready on the backend, but require another night of probably frustrating GUI work. I look forward to getting back to the core engine and finishing remaining chores there.
I hope to remain extremely productive and new builds coming quickly. I'm definitely accepting no new features are this point, other than the one remaining on my list. The rest is fixes and debugging of existing code and additions.
