text indicator comparison

SUMMARY
I needed a network text load indicator on the panel.
Faced the fact that it does not fit on the panel as text view (or other view)
I don't want to raise the height of the panel to fit. Screen space is limited.

We need an option to make an indicator in one line.
A good example would be a similar implementation from xfce.
looks simpler and neater for panel

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use network loading indicator on panel

OBSERVED RESULT
Network load does not fit on the panel (download, upload)

EXPECTED RESULT
Indicators look in one line and fit on the panel

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
kubuntu 21.10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Added an image of what it looks like in kde.
And what it looks like in xfce. (How I wish it were)

Thank you

Can reproduce on all panel thicknesses shorter than about 56px. Looks like it doesn't adapt properly in this case.

Network speed applet before Plasma 6.1

I had solved this problem by creating two separate applets for upload and download (see attachments).

But now after update to Plasma 6.1, even that doesn't fit properly anymore (see attachments).
