This looks good!

Would it be possible as well to show transfer rate?

That would be be great.

It may seem stupid but I miss to see per interface transfer rates.

At least from my point of view the visual aspect is very good.
Its simple and eye catching. Basically providing a simple understanding of whats going on. It looks very natural as well to the other widgets.

For the transfer rates, if you could do bit/s as well pps I would be thankful. PPS is a metric important to troubleshooting for performance, and lot of time omitted and forgotten.
