Show Offset Data AND Original Data

I have a disk that reallocates more and more sectors. It is nice that I get a warning that it reallocated a new sector (the warning is nice ;) ). But then I set to offset so that the value is 0 again because I want to get a warning only when it worsens. Some disks might never reallocate sectors again but some might continue.

What I lose now is the development history of reallocated sectors because the offset replaces the original value. It would be great if I could see in the graph both values - the graph with the original value and the graph with the offset value (perhaps with different colors).

Thanks for the tip!

Currently the change of the offset values are not recorded, so it is not possible to recall (for example) when you configured/modified the offset to clear the error counters. But this can be useful - so a future version may record and use this information as well, which can allow showing the change of the original (unmodified) values.
