If you’re looking to add a little extra information to your Windows 10 desktop, or looking for skins that go well with the Modern UI, these Rainmeter skins for Windows 10 are worth checking out. Most, if not all the skins on this list work great on their own.
- When playing the track's album for the first time, the album art colors are retrieved from online sources and are then permanently stored (cached) in a separate variables file. The skin doesnt show up on my desktop when I double click the dexterity.ini file in rainmeter. What do I have to do to get it work?-Martin.
- Rainmeter plugin for MSI Afterburner. 64-bit version of Rainmeter: MSIAfterburner.dll Now you can define any measures from MSI Afterburner. There is a required parameter 'DataSource' which specifies which source in Afterburner to query. (63.0°C and 63.0%). But if I change my fan to manual and spin it down to 40% the Rainmeter skin is.
- Rainmeter comes with a few simple starter skins that provide a good place to start, but the biggest part of the community are skins which you install onto your system. You can place them onto your desktop and modify it so it will fit to your current systems theme to create something special and unique.
- How to Use Rainmeter. Rainmeter is a desktop customization tool for Windows. You can completely change the 'look and feel' of your desktop with Rainmeter. However, there is a short learning curve. This article will help you get started.

I first want to say that I love this program, and a big thanks to anyone who's worked on making it so great.
I apologize if this is wrong spot for this, I just joined the forums so I could point this out. I've been going through the tutorials and learning how to write my own scripts for Rainmeter, and I just discovered that there is some incorrect information in the NowPlaying plugin section (http://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/plugins/nowplaying).
Under 'Fully Supported Players', for Jriver Media Center, the manual states that 'The intcad plugin needs to be installed.' However the link on that page to said plugin is broken. I tried Googling for the plugin, and all links that I could find were broken (except for a spot on Softpedia for the plugin, it seems). However, I also found that Jriver Media Center no longer requires the plugin as this ability is included within the program itself now (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?action=printpage;topic=84508.0). And after installing the Soita skin and altering the PlayerName to equal CAD, I can confirm that it works. Although, I seem to be unable to rate the song via the Soita skin, everything else seems to work fine.
Just wanted to let you know so that this can be updated. Thanks again for the great software.
I'm creating a skin (possibly a set of skins) which I plan to publish at some point. As I was working I ran into an issue with rotating an image meter. Its size is dynamic to a scale variable.
The image is resized when it is rotated. I believe this is due to the diagonal of the image not fitting within the frame of the meter. Although I'm not sure how I can solve the issue.
The Following is the code of the Image Meter:
When the value of 'ImageRotate' is changed from 90 to 45 the icon scales down.
I tried to look at an example which created the effect that I wanted, but I couldn't figure it out. I also looked for a forum, or information in the 'Rainmeter Manual' to find some useful information. I found something about the ScaleMargin, but it didn't seem to have the effect I wanted.
Thank you in advance for any help that I get.

I think you need to calculate the maximum possible W/H after rotation yourself. Possibly change X/Y too, if you want it to rotate around origin.
There is an example shown here. It uses Rotator meter .
Looking at that example, your code would be like:
Haven't tested it myself, you may need DynamicVariables=1 for #scale#s, and you probably need to calculate X and Y if you want to rotate around the center of the image. Not sure what you want though, I'll leave it to you.
Edit:You may also need DynamicWindowSize=1 under [Rainmeter] section as well. Otherwise it will crop the image after rotation, if it doesn't fit the initial size of the skin.
