Desperate for Help

[Italia.Skyy]

Hi I learned about Rainmeter 2 days ago and I'm hooked BUT I have never coded before and so I have a lot to learn. To the point, I can't CREATE yet but I can hijack what other people have made and change it to how I want it. Problem is I need CPU, GPU, RAM, and a battery that I like but Rainmeter doesn't let you search for words with less than 4 letters for some reason. I can handle the battery but it's all so frustrating so I came to the boards for help. Basically this person posted that they made this skin but wouldn't post it because they mashed together a bunch of other peoples codes and I REALLY like the CPU, GPU, and RAM bars but I can't just look for them because Rainmeter won't let me. Someone help If anyone recognizes it and could please tell me I would be so grateful.

I'm not new but I wasn't active for several years, forum will help no doubt, they help me with the rotator issues i had.

About the CPU and RAM issue you need, that can be already obtain, check the Illustro skins and you may find those at SYSTEM i believe... you can use the NETWORK code too.

Now, GPU and if you want too, CPU, cores and more detailed info about your processor.... you'll need CoreTemp... "have a look at the Rainmeter Documentation before ask" is my motto, because all of these meter configs are there.

here's the Illustro code for CPU and RAM measures and Meters (without some stuff you may not need)

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
; This section contains general settings that can be used to change how Rainmeter behaves.
Update=1000

[measureCPU]
; This measure returns the average CPU load between all cores.
Measure=CPU
Processor=0

[measureRAM]
; Returns the amount of RAM used in bytes.
Measure=PhysicalMemory
UpdateDivider=20
; UpdateDivider sets the rate at which the value of the measure is updated. It is
; calculated as follows: UpdateDivider x Update. In this case, Update is set to
; 1000 milliseconds (in the [Rainmeter] section). 1000 x 20 = 20000 ms or 20 seconds.

[meterLabelCPU]
Meter=String
X=10
Y=40
W=190
H=14
Text=CPU Usage

[meterValueCPU]
Meter=String
MeasureName=measureCPU
X=200
Y=0r
; r stands for relative. In this case, the Y position of meterValueCPU is 0 pixels
; below the Y value of the previous meter (i.e it's the same as in meterLabelCPU).
W=190
H=14
Text=%1%
; %1 stands for the value of MeasureName (measureCPU in this case).

[meterBarCPU]
Meter=Bar
MeasureName=measureCPU
X=10
Y=52
W=190
H=2

[meterLabelRAM]
Meter=String
X=10
Y=60
W=190
H=14
Text=RAM Usage

[meterValueRAM]
Meter=String
MeasureName=measureRAM
X=200
Y=0r
W=190
H=14
Text=%1%
Percentual=1
; Percentual=1 needs to be added her because measureRAM returns the amount
; of RAM used in bytes. Using Percentual=1 will convert that into a percentual value.

[meterBarRAM]
Meter=Bar
MeasureName=measureRAM
X=10
Y=72
W=190
H=1
