There are a few the will tell you your uptime.

HUD Vision by Mepu instantly comes to mind.

, But a skin that has a record of up time, not that I know of, but if the windows system maintains that information, I do not see why a skin could not be built to your specifications.

I would let others ring in on this as well.

I haven't seen a skin that displays the record. But it is however possible to get to know it.
I remember from my days when I used mIRC (using xChat now since I've moved on to more reliable OSs then windows {that would mean Linux}) that you were able to type in "/uptime" and it displayed your current uptime and also your record. --> Uptime: 1d 4h 32m 4s. Record: 67w 3d 59m 2s.
Or something like that. So, the uptime record is able to measure. Don't know if it is stored aotomaticaly or if you need a plugin though...
I don't think, therefore I'm not.

sorry to just now be getting back, been busy with work. i know there are some sidebar gadgets that will give you the uptime record but i would really like one for rainmeter. pretty much all i can do is cut and paste so if someone could come up with one that would be greatly appreciated.

Try to find out where the uptime record is stored and we should be able to tell you how to access it with Rainmeter.

Please help us to help you. I have no idea where the info is stored but I would ask google "Where is Windows record uptime stored" Then I would dig around through the search results.
