[smokeping-users] How to better visualize drop packets?

[valent.turkovic at gmail.com]

Ok got it, after adding "loss_background = yes" in "+ details" now I
have red background where ping loss is occurring.

Is there a way to get ping loss shown also in overview graphs? I'm
really missing it there also.
