--- title: "Display" canonical: "https://help.peakhourapp.com/space/P4D/655591/Display" format: markdown --- Settings ![image](media://6de504c0-bbd2-4d4f-941e-1116b702a109) | **Refresh** | Controls how often PeakHour polls each target for new data.
**Note:** Careful setting this too high. The more often you poll, the more CPU PeakHour will use and more load you'll place on each device. | | --- | --- | | **Bandwidth Units** | Controls the display of bandwidth throughout PeakHour:
- **KBytes/s, MBytes/s, GBytes/s,** ... Display as *x bytes per second*. - **Kbits/s, Mbits/s, Gbits/s** Display as *x bits per second*. - **MBytes/s, GBytes/s,...** Display as *x bytes per second* (<1 MByte/s is rounded up) - **MBits/s, GBits/s,...** Display as *x bits per second* (<1 Mbit/s is rounded up) | Graphs | **Data Smoothing** | Enables smoothing of the data. This implements a rolling average where new values are average with the previous x values in an attempt to smooth out irregularities. For example:
> Macro (inline-media-image) *Smoothing turned off*
> Macro (inline-media-image) *Smoothing set to ****Strong***
Essentially: The higher this value is set, the longer changes in throughput will take to become evident. The lower the setting, the more 'jagged' the graph will tend to be. | | --- | --- | | **Smooth Scrolling** | This option enables smooth sideways scrolling of the graph. This uses Core Animation to constantly slide the graph sideways at a constant speed, giving a much more fluid look.
Note that this option requires more CPU and GPU resources, so may cause your battery to drain slightly faster. | | **Interface Mode (Auto/Dark/Light)** | Choose between **Light** and **Dark** interface modes. **System** will track the macOS setting (System Preferences > General > Use dark menu bar and dock) if you're using macOS 10.10 "Yosemite" or greater. | | **Enable Vibrancy**
**(Yosemite only)** | Mac OS X 10.10 "Yosemite" and later support a new UI look known as Vibrancy. This is a sort of 'frosted glass'-like effect which allows some of the colors behind the window to bleed through.
Vibrancy affects the following elements:
- Monitors (Graph+Detail and Detail Only) in the main dropdown. - History windows
**Note:** A restart of PeakHour is required when changing this option.
> Macro (nested-table)
> ⚠️ Vibrancy requires more resources to render, especially when many graphs are enabled. Switch it off you're aiming to optimize battery and/or performance. |
