Adam Janca (ID: 000000b6484260f4) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/28/2022 Generally it works great - very useful tool. What makes it nearly unusable is that the small icon window in the right upper corner is too small to show 3 digits. Could you please either round it to 2 digits, or make the font smaller to show all 3? Thank you

Fearless Design (ID: 0000007781ab7a66) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/03/2022 Works as intended, but can you please fix it to display 3 digits? lol. If it's not too much to ask. I do understand this is for people with low system resources, but I'd appreciate it if you would. Thanks either way!
