- Full 7 day forecast
- Current temperature and condition
- If after sunset, the current phase of the moon is displayed
- Different tooltips for present and future days (this was a huge pain to accomplish)
- Current network upload/download speeds
- You have a choice of two variants for the graphical representation:
- NetArc (The length of the arc represents the percentage of maximum up/down speed)
- NetSpin (The speed of the arc represents the current maximum up/down speed)
NetSpin is a lot more resource intsensive in order achieve smooth animation, beware.This doesnt seem to be the case with the latest Rainmeter version.
- You have a choice of two variants for the graphical representation:
- RAM usage is displayed with the thickness of the inner ring
- Current disk read/write is shown with two arcs that inscribe the inner ring
- Since there is no good metric for "maximum" disk throughput the skin will store the highest recorded
- The highest recorded rate can be reset by clicking it
- CPU and GPU have their current usage displayed as half of the yin-yang image.
- CPU and GPU temperatures
- Download and install the .rmskin
- Download and install Open Hardware Monitor
- Go to WeatherUnderground and sign up for a free developer api key
- (Optional) Download and install MSI Afterburner
Open the Variables.inc
file and enter values for

You can now load the included layout Eccentricity0 Default
without fear of crashing Rainmeter.
- Make installation significantly more automatic
- Add some widgets that orbit
- Make skins interchangeable for each ring (maybe)
