Hi so i only recently started using Rainmeter but i just noticed that its using up to 20% of my CPU at once.
This is unusually high, especially considering i have an AMD fx-6350 which is a 6-core processor and im currently only using 2 skins?
Skin 1: Menta - https://hiphopium.deviantart.com/art/Menta-711327364
Skin 2: ClearText
Is there anything im able to do to fix/improve this or is one of the 2 above skins known for its high CPU usage?

Re: High CPU usage with 2 skins?
Unload the visualizer skin will eliminate high CPU usage.
Any visualizer will require more CPU cycles because they update every 16~25 milliseconds. Some use slightly more than others, but they are what is causing it.
Do you expect to travel on a highway and never have your engine get above idle too?

Re: High CPU usage with 2 skins?
Ah so it was the visualizer causing it, thank you for the reply. I didn't realise that the visualizer would cause it to jump up to 20% CPU usage.
And yes, of course i do
