You will also be required to read an activation code provided in order to activate the Rainmeter skin on your desktop computer normally this code is long but easy to remember. In most cases, you'll be prompted to choose a username and a password to access the Rainmeter site and enable the application. However, if you use the Rainmeter site, you'll need to go through some configuration screens and make certain choices before being able to use the Rainmeter application on your computer. If you're directly using the Rainmeter application, you can simply set the Rainmeter settings through the usual Windows control panel interface. Here are some important tips you should follow for either method. There are two main ways to do this: directly through the Rainmeter application (which is the recommended method) or through a web-based interface provided by the Rainmeter website. From there, you'll need to configure your Rainmeter to your liking. To use Rainmeter, you first need to download and install the Rainmeter software and then open it up with the "Settings" tab. It enables users to generate and display customized user-created applets or skins on Windows systems, which can be used to display data from almost any hardware device, such as digital cameras, microphones, weather stations, video monitors, infrared detectors, GPS/RFID devices and wireless network adapters. Geektool is also much more oriented towards people who are familiar with the command line, as it runs nearly entirely on bash scripts.Rainmeter is an open source and free desktop measurement utility for Windows, developed under the GNU GPLv2 license. For Mac users, there is Geektool, which performs many of the same basic functions such as displaying info on the desktop and some basic widgets, though there isn’t as big of a community following behind it, so the options for skins are limited.
If you’re on a Mac or Linux, unfortunately you’re out of luck, as there isn’t a Rainmeter build for OS X or Linux.
Most skins have comments in the configuration file, so it’s easy to tell what controls what. Right click on a skin and hit “Edit skin”, which will bring up a configuration file with lots of variable definitions.įor example, if you wanted to change the color of the outer rim of this clock, you can edit the values of the variable that controls that. If you want to get your hands dirty with the code behind the skins, it isn’t too complex. Rainmeter allows for an amazing amount of customization.
