## Requirements



- Windows 10

- [Rainmeter](https://www.rainmeter.net/) 4.3.1 or higher

- [HWiNFO](https://www.hwinfo.com/). Use version < 7.0.0 unless you have Pro subscription or don't mind checking a checkbox in HWiNFO settings once in 12 hours (e.g. [v6.42](https://www.fosshub.com/HWiNFO-old.html), [read why](https://docs.rainmeter.net/tips/hwinfo/)). Installer is preferable since Portable seems to have problems with autostart

- [JetBrains Mono](https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/) font, unless you want use font of your choice



## Skins



You can open all skins config (`Config.inc`) by clicking on "Open Config" item in the a skin context menu



### Uptime



Displays system uptime



![Uptime skin image](images/uptime.png)



  Configuration



See `Uptime` section in `Config.inc`



- `UptimeBorderTop`, `UptimeBorderRight`, `UptimeBorderBottom` and `UptimeBorderLeft` - Toggles skin border visibility



### CPU



Displays CPU usage/temperature values and values as line meter, processes count and 1-5 top processes. When "CPU" label is hovered the processor name is displayed as a tooltip



![CPU skin image](images/cpu.png)



  Configuration



See `CPU` section in `Config.inc`



- `CPUHWiNFOSensorId` and `CPUHWiNFOSensorInstance` - CPU Sensor ID and Instance (**Sensor Details** section in "HWiNFO Shared Memory Viewer") that provides CPU temperature value. See "Setting HWiNFO related values" section in `Config.inc` for more details

- `CPUHWiNFOTemperatureEntryId` - CPU temperature Entry ID (**Entry Details** section)

- `CPUTopProcessesCount` - Number of top processes using CPU displayed. Setting value to `0` hides "Top processes" block

- `CPUBorderTop`, `CPUBorderRight`, `CPUBorderBottom` and `CPUBorderLeft` - Toggles skin border visibility



### Memory



Displays RAM usage and 1-5 top processes using RAM. When used memory bar is hovered a percent of used memory is displayed



![Memory skin image](images/memory.png)



  Configuration



See `Memory` section in `Config.inc`



- `MemoryTopProcessesCount` - Number of top processes using RAM displayed. Setting value to `0` hides "Top processes" block

- `MemoryBorderTop`, `MemoryBorderRight`, `MemoryBorderBottom` and `MemoryBorderLeft` - Toggles skin border visibility



### GPU



Displays GPU usage (GPU Core Load), temperature, fan speed, memory usage and 1-5 top processes using GPU. When memory bar is hovered a percent of used memory is displayed. When "GPU" label is hovered the GPU adapter name is displayed as a tooltip



![GPU skin image](images/gpu.png)



  Configuration



See `GPU` section in `Config.inc`



- `GPUHWiNFOSensorId` and `GPUHWiNFOSensorInstance` - GPU Sensor ID and Instance

- `GPUHWiNFOTemperatureEntryId` - GPU Temperature Entry ID

- `GPUHWiNFOFanEntryId` - GPU Fan Entry ID. Set to `-1` to disable (in case when GPU does not have a fan)

- `GPUHWiNFOCoreLoadEntryId` - GPU Core Load (usage) Entry ID

- `GPUHWiNFOMemoryAllocatedEntryId` - GPU Memory Allocated (memory used) Entry ID

- `GPUIndex` - Key under `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\` corresponding the GPU. Usually it's `0000`, but depending on how many GPUs are in the system it can be `0001`, `0002`, etc. Check registry to get correct one - it must contain `HardwareInformation.qwMemorySize` record. Or check whether tooltip on "GPU" label on the skin displays correct name

- `GPUTotalMemory` (Default: -1) - GPU total memory in bytes. Set when `HardwareInformation.qwMemorySize` is missing in the registry. Set to -1 to use value from registry

- `GPUTopProcessesCount` - Number of top processes using GPU displayed. Setting value to `0` hides "Top processes" block

- `GPUBorderTop`, `GPUBorderRight`, `GPUBorderBottom` and `GPUBorderLeft` - Toggles skin border visibility



### Network



Shows Download/Upload speed in kB/s and connections count



![Network skin image](images/network.png)



  Configuration



See `Network` section in `Config.inc`



- `NetworkMaxDownloadMbits` and `NetworkMaxUploadMbits` - Maximum download/upload speed of your network. Use http://speedtest.net to get these values

- `NetworkInterface` - Network interface name. Set if default value doesn't match your network adapter

- `NetworkBorderTop`, `NetworkBorderRight`, `NetworkBorderBottom` and `NetworkBorderLeft` - Toggles skin border visibility



### I/O



Displays I/O information (file, network and device I/Os).



![I/O skin image](images/io.png)



  Configuration



See `I/O` section in `Config.inc`



- `IOTopProcessesCount` - Number of top processes using I/O displayed. Setting value to `0` hides "Top processes Read+Write" block

- `IOBorderTop`, `IOBorderRight`, `IOBorderBottom` and `IOBorderLeft` - Toggles skin border visibility



### Drive



Displays drive's free space, temperature, activity, read/write speed. When disk label is hovered drive identifier and total size are displayed.



![Drive skin image](images/drive.png)



  Configuration



See `Drives` section in `Config.inc`



You might want to load `Drive_Header` skin to add header for drives skins



- `DriveHWiNFOSMARTSensorId` - S.M.A.R.T. Sensor ID (the same for all drives)

- `Drive1`...`Drive6` - Drive's letter (e.g. `C:`)

- `Drive1HWiNFOSensorInstance`...`Drive6HWiNFOSensorInstance` - S.M.A.R.T. Sensor Instance

- `Drive1HWiNFOTemperatureEntryId`..`Drive6HWiNFOTemperatureEntryId` - S.M.A.R.T. Drive Temperature Entry ID

## Common configuration



### Sizes

### Font



[Default configuration](src/@Resources/Config.inc) contains adjustments for [JetBrains Mono](https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/) font.



If you want to use another font you'll need to change font-related variables in `Config.inc`:



- `FontFace` - Font to use

- `FontTopPaddingFix` - Top offset for bar and short line meters (e.g. Drive free space)

- `LineMeterStringTopFix` - Bottom top offset for string located in the top of meter higher than one text row (e.g. CPU usage %).

- `LineMeterStringBottomFix` - Bottom offset for string located in the bottom of meter higher than one text row (e.g. Drive write speed)

- `FontSize` and `LineHeight` - Main font size and line height

- `FontSizeSmall` and `LineHeightSmall` - Smaller font size and line height

- `StringEffect` - Font effect type - `Border`, `Shadow` or `None`

- `FontEffectColor` - Font effect color

- `FontColor` - Default font color

- `FontColorDim` - Dimmed font color (less important information)

- `FontColorDisabled` - Font color for disabled label (not important information like zero write speed)



### Colors



- `SkinBackground` - Skin background color

- `MeterBackground` - Meter box background color

- `MeterColor` - Accent color

- `SeparatorColor` - Border color



### Symbols



- `WriteSpeedPrefix` and `ReadSpeedPrefix` - Symbols to use as prefixes for write/read speed



### Update dividers

## Localization



You can chose language to be used for labels by setting `Locale` variable in the config. Supported locales are "en" and "ru". Feel free to add other locales via PR
