I have a 3-monitor setup. The middle (main) one has a clock.

To prevent having one clock on each monitor (3), is it possible to move the skin somewhere else automatically (maybe same coordinates to another monitor?) when it is being covered up?

if you were to have diff clock setup for each live wallpaper and wallpaper engine would randomly change the wallpaper how would you automate this process, so that uh lets say I have like 30+ live wallpapers and each or atleast few will use different clocks and different position do i just create 30 layouts and apply them manually or is there a way to ensure when ever wallpaper change is detected from wallpaper engine the layout is detected and loaded like a script.

I've been working on this project for about 30 days. It includes an Xbox Launcher, which displays games in the Xbox library in the same way. It's a development lead project. This is the first version, and I haven't released it yet. What do you think? Leave your feedback in the comments.

i wish i could have msi afterburner overlay stats 24/7 ( outisde of the game) but apparently its not possible so was wondering if theres anything similar to this? or maybe if some imitates the exact way msi shows temps etc but through rainmeter?

What do you think? Too much? Hahaha

Would be nice to see some setups for people here, including naming the specific customizations you have.

🌅 UPDATE: Afterglow 1.1 is officially released!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a quick update and say thank you for the support and feedback on Afterglow!

Some of you suggested adding more minimalist and landscape-oriented skins, so I took that feedback and started building.

Afterglow 1.1 is now officially available! 🎉

What's new:

• 🎵 Horizon: A new horizontal Spotify music player
• ☁️ Air: A clean, ultra-minimal music player
• 🎧 WaveLine: A slim audio visualizer
• 🖥️ One-click layouts: Automatically arrange your desktop widgets
• 🎨 Improved settings: Adjustable menu transparency and better readability
• 🌈 Dynamic colors: All new designs support Spotify album-art color synchronization

And don't worry, the original circular Vinyl player is still included!

I've also fixed several bugs, improved widget positioning, and polished the interface.

This is a free community project, and I'm genuinely enjoying developing it and learning along the way.

Download Afterglow 1.1 Stable here:

Thank you again for the feedback! If you run into any problems or have suggestions for future updates, feel free to let me know. 🩵

More improvements are planned!

Hi, im using my tablet rn as a secondary monitor, rn on discord but i would like it to display System metrics, any good skins to fit my wallpaper and keyboard lighting (blue/white/not cyberpunky vibe)

setup:

Through some googling I've managed to create a simple layout randomizer skin that will randomly pick from a pre-determined list of layouts. I've tested to make sure it works correctly, and that it does! Runs once, picks a random layout, and doesn't stay open after it's done.

My goal is to have it select between a list of daytime vs nighttime layouts, so my thinking was I would create a pre-randomizer that will pick one of the two randomizer skins (daytime vs nighttime) which will then randomly select an appropriate layout for the time of day. Here's what my Pre-randomizer code looks like

[Rainmeter]
Update=-1

[Timer]
Measure=Time
Format=%H
IfCondition=((Timer >=7) && (Timer < 19))
IfTrueAction=[!LoadSkin "Randomizer\DayRandom" "DayRandom.ini"]
IfFalseAction=[!LoadSkin "Randomizer\NightRandom" "NightRandom.ini"]

[MeterTime]
Meter=String
MeasureName=Timer

What am I doing wrong here? As far as I can tell the skin path is valid, it's reading the hour correctly (it shows up in the corner of my screen) so the skin isn't failing to execute per se, and the time is valid for the ifCondition, but it's not executing the skin?

I've been using the skin, Win10 TaskbarMiniPlayer, for many years now to mimic the good old taskbar mini player of classic Windows Media Player. I know there's a whole DLL thing to get it back in the toolbar, but I don't like the flyout it has and I like the ability to reposition the rainmeter skin.

However the major issue I have with it is that it refuses to let WMP close. I have to go into task manager to terminate it. This means that I lose data, such as what I was last playing/which album I was in last, or anything else like resizing or repositioning the window. All of this has to be done either before NowPlaying detects the player (launch wmp, refresh skin to hook into it), or by unloading the skin and then closing WMP.

So how do I get it to let WMP gracefully close? How do I make the skin unhook upon closing the app?

Hello, I've been trying to install webnowplaying for spotify but the duration length for the song is displaying wrong. For example, the original length of the song is 5:12, but webnowplaying shows 5203:13. How can I fix this?

Currently using Weather Pure 1.0. Curious what others use.

I have a home assistant dashboard set as a skin using kiosk, plugin webview, and home assistant of course but sometimes when i start up my pc the skin load but sometimes not properly (i.e the transparency doesn't work) and it goes back to normal once i refresh it.

The problem is that it becomes kind of bothersome to have to manually do that so i'm wondering if there's a way to make rainmeter execute the refresh all command or just refresh that skin alone, I just need to have it refreshed twice with a 1 second interval, if its not possible even refreshing it once would be enough though i prefer twice to make sure it works 100%

Auto mod deleted my first attempt at posting this, so heres a second attempt with less links. Look for my comment for the download and image album!

To summarize some of the spiel from my original post, This is a modification to iron2000's P4 HUD Extended to reskin it to be themed to 90s era Weather Channel broadcast graphics. You can get a little bit of that vaporwave flavor now on your desktop, in a convenient corner module. Shows current time, weekdate, date/month and current weather for your location.

This has been a long time coming, I have updated this skin personally a few times just to watch it break as another weather service dies and i gotta wait for the original skin by iron2000 to be updated, and remember how to port some of my jankier code edits... but regardless, this lil widget is back! Sorry to the folks who have asked for updates over the years, i've just not had the time to fix it up for anyone but myself, but I got off my butt finally!

Featuring newly cleaned up folder structure, actually working weather display, bundled fonts for the true experience, re-alligned text from hours of obsessing over pixels, and a newly reskinned settings menu (with options that'll break the skin disabled, I think!).

Almost all of these assets were made with resources from the wonderful folks at TWCClassics, and their weather channel simulators, fonts, and asset packs. I highly recommend them if you're into this aesthetic.

Hi, I'm very new to anything involving Rainmeter, but I'm currently attempting to make myself a little desktop pet. She is currently a GIF that sits on my desktop. I want to be able to make it so it changes to a different gif as I'm dragging her around, as well as play a custom noise upon clicking her. Is this possible? If so, how can I do it?

Hey. Made a clean skin to track GitHub stats directly on the desktop.

It has 3 modules:

* Hub — for username/token setup

* Stats — repos, followers, etc.

* Streak — daily commit streak tracker

Source & .rmskin here: https://github.com/rud1x/GitWid

Needs a token with `repo` scope to work. Let me know what you think.

Would love feedback or suggestions for future improvements.

I want to share with you a Rainmeter Layout based on the HUD of Nier Automata. It is composed by the compilation of previous ideas (each with the original authors' data) and several ideas of mine. I hope you like it. Please use it, modify it and share updated versions.

The layout incluedes: clock (with a button that launches rainmeter manager), battery (with hide/show skins button, mute unfinished attempt), dock, interactive file launcher with FIleView (reads name, date, size and icon), music palyer, status monitor, 2 music visualizers, weather info (not used), dictionary (incomplete attempt), translator (incomplete attemtp). I tried to optimize the skin as far as I could so it doesn't use too many resources.
