You can use a premade skin that uses HWiNFO, there's plenty of them on the System Monitoring subforum.Hello! actually a newbie to this community. Is there a complete tutorial to make this work on a Win 11 system? I am running down from page 1 of this thread but I cannot comprehend the instructions I'm so sorry. But I am very much willing to learn and do it myself with a guide that is friendly to newbies like me
If you still want to make your own skin, then I suggest you to read through the Rainmeter documentation to learn the the basics first.
HWiNFO only needs sensors to be "Reported to gadget" to report those values to the Windows Registry, then use the sensor's index values on a Registry measure in rainmeter, that retrieves the information from the windows registry to rainmeter, like this:
Code:
[Sensor1]Measure=RegistryRegHKey=HKEY_CURRENT_USERRegKey=SOFTWARE\HWINFO64\VSBRegValue=Value1[Sensor2]Measure=RegistryRegHKey=HKEY_CURRENT_USERRegKey=SOFTWARE\HWINFO64\VSBRegValue=ValueRaw2Here's an example:
Code:
[Rainmeter]Update=3000AccurateText=1DynamicWindowSize=1[TextStyle]StringAlign=CenterStringStyle=BoldStringEffect=ShadowFontColor=200,200,200,255FontEffectColor=0,0,0,255AntiAlias=1[SensorValue]Measure=RegistryRegHKey=HKEY_CURRENT_USERRegKey=SOFTWARE\HWINFO64\VSBRegValue=Value1[ValueText]Meter=StringMeterStyle=TextStyleStringAlign=Leftx=0y=0Text=[SensorValue]FontSize=75DynamicVariables=1Statistics: Posted by RicardoTM — Yesterday, 7:03 pm — Replies 119 — Views 666432
