Here you go, just paste it into notepad and save it, put .ini at the end of the file name as you save it. Then put the file into a folder and put that folder into rainmeters skins folder in program files.

If you have gmail, scroll down towards the bottom and put your username and password in.

Thanks, Decided to delete out the monitoring system below.
How can I change it to display 24hour?

mad_weegie · 4 Jun 2009 at 14:22

some very nice screens there

ash_scotland88 · 4 Jun 2009 at 15:35

Just discovered itunes can go along in the toolbar, XP64 doesnt allow WMP player to do it.
Just need it so msn stacks sooner, along the toolbar. Anybody know how? It currently doesnt do it untill it was filled up. I remember before I went 64bit it would do it after 3 open convos.

*Snip*

Cool... All works except the Googlemail bit!...

Plus how do I get Rainmeter to actually work on Startup on Vista64?... its not an installer like with the 32bit version (which works nicely on my Work PC)... I tried putting a shortcut in 'Startup' but it just hung for some unknown reason!..

Replace the format line under time with Format=%#H:%M | %A | %#d | %B you you only need some different bits at the front but by the time I explain it, it would be just as easy to replace the whole line.

Do you have WebParser.dll in the plugins folder? And I take it you have put your username and password in?
If you don't have the plugin, clicky

Sorry bud can't help with the startup problem, hopefully someone else can help.
