This suite was created as addition to SilverAzide's suite to complete the move of our beloved Addgadgets.com collection from Windows Sidebar-Gadgets to Rainmeter.
Since many things like power control or volume control were never covered by Addgadgets, Orbmu2k's gadgets were a great addition at the time, so some gadgets were also redone for the suite.
Over time, many more gadgets have been added to the suite which none of both awesome collections ever had.

Big Thank You to the Rainmeter Developer Team for the UsageMonitor-Plugin!
Actually the v2.0 update should come only with the scaling feature.
But since this killed my complete way of positioning (and I was anyway annoyed of all those useless position calculation and seeing always the same code) I've started something bigger and I think I went quietly over the goal .
I've build more or less a small "Template-System" (Up to 6 includes) with which a new AddGadgets styled skin can be created in "seconds".
But till I got there, this was some headache...
More or less each time I've killed the template-system and I didn't got it running in hours I've created a new skin.
That's the reason for Media Control / Recycle Bin / Volume Control .
This week I wanted to finish the skin and release it... but no, there has to come this new plugin .
And so another round till I'm mostly ready and see that SilverAzide releases his new skin and has the same features as mine...
And so another round... , but now can I deliver my own interpretation of the usage monitor .
Feedback welcome!
PS:
Some when in the meantime I've renamed the skin cause I was annoyed of his name-length...
v2.1 will have the click sections for the scale-issue in rainmeter... but not now, I'm near dead and have to do one step back from rainmeter .
I just wanted to mention, there is a minor bug in UsageMonitor that is affecting your GPU Usage Monitor skin. In your screenshot, you can see the percentages are all zero (0.00%). Percent=1 does not appear to be working properly; it causes the measures to return zero. I found that you can change to...
