Requirements

• Windows 10
• Rainmeter 4.3.1 or higher
• HWiNFO. Use version < 7.0.0 unless you have Pro subscription or don't mind checking a checkbox in HWiNFO settings once in 12 hours (e.g. v6.42, read why). Installer is preferable since Portable seems to have problems with autostart
• JetBrains Mono font, unless you want use font of your choice

Skins

You can open all skins config (Config.inc) by clicking on "Open Config" item in the a skin context menu

Uptime

Displays system uptime

Configuration

See Uptime section in Config.inc

• UptimeBorderTop, UptimeBorderRight, UptimeBorderBottom and UptimeBorderLeft - Toggles skin border visibility

CPU

Displays CPU usage/temperature values and values as line meter, processes count and 1-5 top processes. When "CPU" label is hovered the processor name is displayed as a tooltip

Configuration

See CPU section in Config.inc

• CPUHWiNFOSensorId and CPUHWiNFOSensorInstance - CPU Sensor ID and Instance (Sensor Details section in "HWiNFO Shared Memory Viewer") that provides CPU temperature value. See "Setting HWiNFO related values" section in Config.inc for more details
• CPUHWiNFOTemperatureEntryId - CPU temperature Entry ID (Entry Details section)
• CPUTopProcessesCount - Number of top processes using CPU displayed. Setting value to 0 hides "Top processes" block
• CPUBorderTop, CPUBorderRight, CPUBorderBottom and CPUBorderLeft - Toggles skin border visibility

Memory

Displays RAM usage and 1-5 top processes using RAM. When used memory bar is hovered a percent of used memory is displayed

Configuration

See Memory section in Config.inc

• MemoryTopProcessesCount - Number of top processes using RAM displayed. Setting value to 0 hides "Top processes" block
• MemoryBorderTop, MemoryBorderRight, MemoryBorderBottom and MemoryBorderLeft - Toggles skin border visibility

GPU

Displays GPU usage (GPU Core Load), temperature, fan speed, memory usage and 1-5 top processes using GPU. When memory bar is hovered a percent of used memory is displayed. When "GPU" label is hovered the GPU adapter name is displayed as a tooltip

Configuration

See GPU section in Config.inc

• GPUHWiNFOSensorId and GPUHWiNFOSensorInstance - GPU Sensor ID and Instance
• GPUHWiNFOTemperatureEntryId - GPU Temperature Entry ID
• GPUHWiNFOFanEntryId - GPU Fan Entry ID. Set to -1 to disable (in case when GPU does not have a fan)
• GPUHWiNFOCoreLoadEntryId - GPU Core Load (usage) Entry ID
• GPUHWiNFOMemoryAllocatedEntryId - GPU Memory Allocated (memory used) Entry ID
• GPUIndex - Key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\ corresponding the GPU. Usually it's 0000, but depending on how many GPUs are in the system it can be 0001, 0002, etc. Check registry to get correct one - it must contain HardwareInformation.qwMemorySize record. Or check whether tooltip on "GPU" label on the skin displays correct name
• GPUTotalMemory (Default: -1) - GPU total memory in bytes. Set when HardwareInformation.qwMemorySize is missing in the registry. Set to -1 to use value from registry
• GPUTopProcessesCount - Number of top processes using GPU displayed. Setting value to 0 hides "Top processes" block
• GPUBorderTop, GPUBorderRight, GPUBorderBottom and GPUBorderLeft - Toggles skin border visibility

Network

Shows Download/Upload speed in kB/s and connections count

Configuration

See Network section in Config.inc

• NetworkMaxDownloadMbits and NetworkMaxUploadMbits - Maximum download/upload speed of your network. Use http://speedtest.net to get these values
• NetworkInterface - Network interface name. Set if default value doesn't match your network adapter
• NetworkBorderTop, NetworkBorderRight, NetworkBorderBottom and NetworkBorderLeft - Toggles skin border visibility

I/O

Displays I/O information (file, network and device I/Os).

Configuration

See I/O section in Config.inc

• IOTopProcessesCount - Number of top processes using I/O displayed. Setting value to 0 hides "Top processes Read+Write" block
• IOBorderTop, IOBorderRight, IOBorderBottom and IOBorderLeft - Toggles skin border visibility

Drive

Displays drive's free space, temperature, activity, read/write speed. When disk label is hovered drive identifier and total size are displayed.

Configuration

See Drives section in Config.inc

You might want to load Drive_Header skin to add header for drives skins

• DriveHWiNFOSMARTSensorId - S.M.A.R.T. Sensor ID (the same for all drives)
• Drive1...Drive6 - Drive's letter (e.g. C:)
• Drive1HWiNFOSensorInstance...Drive6HWiNFOSensorInstance - S.M.A.R.T. Sensor Instance
• Drive1HWiNFOTemperatureEntryId..Drive6HWiNFOTemperatureEntryId - S.M.A.R.T. Drive Temperature Entry ID
• Drive1HWiNFORemainingLifeEntryId..Drive6HWiNFORemainingLifeEntryId - S.M.A.R.T. Drive Remaining Life Entry ID. Only available for SSD. Set to -1 for HDD
• DrivesHeaderBorderTop, DrivesHeaderBorderRight, DrivesHeaderBorderBottom and DrivesHeaderBorderLeft - Toggles Drives Header skin border visibility
• Drive1BorderTop...Drive6BorderTop, Drive1BorderRight...Drive6BorderRight, Drive1BorderBottom...Drive6BorderBottom and Drive1BorderLeft...Drive6BorderLeft - Toggles skin border visibility

Player

Displays currently playing track information - track title, track artist and track duration. It has basic controls - previous track, pause/play. next track. When header label is clicked player is launched/closed

Configuration

See Player section in Config.inc

• PlayerName - Player application name (see supported players list)
• PlayerTitle - Skin header text (e.g. "My Jukebox")
• PlayerPath - Player executable absolute path
• PlayerBorderTop, PlayerBorderRight, PlayerBorderBottom and PlayerBorderLeft - Toggles skin border visibility

Other meter specific configuration variables

See Temperature section in Config.inc

• TemperatureUnit - Temperature unit to use. C for Celsius, F for Fahrenheit, K for Kelvin
• TemperatureMax- Maximum temperature. It's needed for line meter

Common configuration

Sizes

• SkinWidth - Skin width in pixels
• BarHeight - Height of a bar meter
• LineMeterHeight - Height of a line meter

Font

Default configuration contains adjustments for JetBrains Mono font.

If you want to use another font you'll need to change font-related variables in Config.inc:

• FontFace - Font to use
• FontTopPaddingFix - Top offset for bar and short line meters (e.g. Drive free space)
• LineMeterStringTopFix - Bottom top offset for string located in the top of meter higher than one text row (e.g. CPU usage %).
• LineMeterStringBottomFix - Bottom offset for string located in the bottom of meter higher than one text row (e.g. Drive write speed)
• FontSize and LineHeight - Main font size and line height
• FontSizeSmall and LineHeightSmall - Smaller font size and line height
• StringEffect - Font effect type - Border, Shadow or None
• FontEffectColor - Font effect color
• FontColor - Default font color
• FontColorDim - Dimmed font color (less important information)
• FontColorDisabled - Font color for disabled label (not important information like zero write speed)

Colors

• SkinBackground - Skin background color
• MeterBackground - Meter box background color
• MeterColor - Accent color
• SeparatorColor - Border color

Symbols

• WriteSpeedPrefix and ReadSpeedPrefix - Symbols to use as prefixes for write/read speed

Update dividers

• UpdateDividerCPUTopProcess - CPU Top processes update divider (read more about dividers)
• UpdateDividerMemoryTopProcess - Memory Top processes update divider
• UpdateDividerGPUTopProcess - GPU Top processes update divider
• UpdateDividerIOTopProcess - I/O Top processes update divider
• UpdateDividerTemp - Temperature update divider
• UpdateDividerFan - Fan speed update divider
• UpdateDividerMemory - Used memory update divider
• UpdateDividerDriveSpace - Drive space update divider

Localization

You can chose language to be used for labels by setting Locale variable in the config. Supported locales are "en" and "ru". Feel free to add other locales via PR
