Looking very nice, some good monitoring software too

I downloaded rainmeter yesterday after seeing it on some screenies on the forums, my only problem is the resolution in which it displays, far too small to read unless my nose is touching my screen, any one know how to change its display sizes?

Please can yo show an example of modified text doc to change sizes as im a complete novice regarding any kind of program modification.

Cheers

Looks good. Shame about the 'Computer' icon though! Use Windows Key + E, then you don't need the shortcut

linwelin · 14 Jan 2013 at 16:07

i like that wallpaper, where did you find it ?

Orcvader · 14 Jan 2013 at 16:28

Very nice! Seems the Bluevision theme has been updated last time I used it (although I'm using my own custom one now

).

Ðudeth · 14 Jan 2013 at 17:30

There should be 3 size options in the settings.

Here's mine

All the apps i use regularly are on the task bar which is auto hidden, keeps it nice and clean. :-)

Your kinda cluttered lol
you only need 1 cpu widget

also just a recommendation, you might want to add some transparency to your widgets as through time they will burn a hole into your screen lol

Had mine like this for over 12 month's with no burn in!

cpu widget's monitoring all 8 cores.

Ðudeth · 14 Jan 2013 at 19:31

i looked at using just one temp for cpu aso, but speed fan only provides individual cores 1-4, i have managed to play around with the settings on the text docs to get a good size, been looking at changing some of the image files too, looks like ima be playing around with it for a while =), just wish i could post images now XD

Here's mine on my second screen, settled with the bar look and transparency to match Aero:

The two little buttons on the music widget allows me to change between sound devices, very handy swapping from music and gaming mode

.

And yes, the clock widget is from the same Bluevision, but modified to match with the rest. Everything else was hand coded.

Wazz-1 · 15 Jan 2013 at 00:29

Wallpaper is awesome, nicely done looks very crisp and clean. Probably time I revamped my desktop now.

Very nice, would you be able to help me out with the sound device switch please, would be very handy, use hdmi for video sound, jak for music and a usb convertor for game sounds, being able to switch it up would be rly handy.

Im very new to this, id like to make some features from scratch, but to be honest, only started playing around with rainmeter (coding in general) over the last week

stuie · 15 Jan 2013 at 14:34

Could people posting screen shots give links to what bases and themes they have used

Also I suspect this should be moved cant see what its got to do with overclocking and cooling

Wazz-1 · 15 Jan 2013 at 15:36

Maybe the mod's could move it somewhere more appropriate.

Not on my desktop at the moment, but the code is loosely based off this: http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/88446

Been using this layout for awhile now and haven't changed it in over a year, liking that sound layout that is posted above.
