Rainmeter: Shows You Everything You Need To Know, In Style
/
This is Rainmeter
Like the title says it shows you everything you need to know. What I mean is that rainmeter shows you the inner working of your computer. Take for example you want to see how fast your Internet connection is, there are many ways to do this mainly doing a google search for something checking the Internet connection of your area.
Doing it that way is well and good but takes time, with rainmeter all you got to do is look on the desktop and look at your network widget you can call it. See rainmeter displays all the important information you would need to see or want to look up. This is a desktop using one of the 3 themes found at their main site to show you how rainmeter works.
This shows the time and date.
This is the RSS reader showing up to 4 different sites.
This shows your weather thats up to date as long as your connected to the net.
This is your Itunes/Winamp media controller(means you just start those programs and then the widget would control it allowing you to pause play and top it without having to bring up the play on top of every thing).
This shows your current CPU speed.
This shows your current Internet speed, UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD and WIFI signal strength if your using wifi.
A online image search, all you have to do is just click on it and it would open a new tab/window in your default browser.
This is the ram/memory being used and how much its being used.
The reason why I got to show it to you all like this, is because rainmeter is all about visual icons to show you everything and they are active and won't need much of your input. The only three I know that need your input are the weather, the Ifile and the RSS reader, but that one is up to you if you want to change the sites its reading and I for the life of me, cannot figure out how to get the Ifile to work right.
That is not all that is just one theme called
and thats not all, you don't need to use the while theme but you can use parts of it just one or two thing, from the whole theme but not just one but different themes, the only thing that is stopping you is, that you and the ram other then that its up to you and what you want rainmeter to show you. you can have something as simple as the time from earlier or you can have a widget to display the time in binary, which i do have myself.
I will tell you all to give it a try,its not easy when you first try it out but keep at it. I didnt not take me long to understand it and I know it will not take any of you long either. Combine rainmeter with rocketdock and you will be able to not just gave and amazing desktop but shortcuts that will be really helpful for you and can make some pretty sick looking desktops to impress people walking by.
