        I have the new Data Monitor from Matteo Bellei and have a few questions which I am asking here to enlighten other users.
        [1] Is there any significance to the title being red text rather than black?
        [2] Does "daemon setting for idle activity" mean the frequency of data sampling? if not, what does it mean?
        Thanks to Matteo for this application which I anticipate will help me avoid excessive downloads.

          @cliffcoggin Hi, thanks for using my app, glad you can employ it to limit your data usage, that was my goal 🙂
          To answer to your questions:

          1. Actually the dataMonitor title in the app Main page is orange and it was only meant to be some sort of a tribute to the Ubuntu orange. That's the only color you cannot change from Settings;
          2. Confirmed, it's the time step to be set for data update. There is a daemon always running in the background and you can decide at which time step make it trigger. Theoretically, at small time steps you have the best performance but more battery drain and vice-versa with big time steps. Actually, I'm not sure at small time steps you can experience big battery drain, I observed not much impact on that, but need to investigate more.

            Thanks Matteo. I think I now know what a daemon is.

            I have wifi data usage recorded. Next time I get a mobile signal I can test if that records as well.
