Just using Win10 Widget "CPU Large" and "Network Large" variants.
https://www.deviantart.com/art/Win10-Widgets-619765834
I use a 8inch 800x600 2nd monitor just for displaying these widgets.
Trying to make them even larger and, more important, much more brighter. I don't want ANY transparency or faded/muted colors. I want them completely opaque, bright colors, and make the graph lines thicker.
I have found the "@Resources", "CPU Large", and "Network Large" ini files under C:\Users\Me\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Win10 Widgets\
From there, I am not sure which parts to start playing with?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Re: How to make Win10 Widgets BIGGER and BRIGHTER?
As far as changing the colors, edit @Resources\variables.ini and change the RGBA values for the colors; especially the 4th number value, which controls the alpha (transparency) of the colors; 255,255,255,255 if the last number is 255, or not defined (missing), then you will have solid colors.
As for the size, I have no idea what issues you will encounter as you resize; I would imagine everything will get misaligned and ugly.

Re: How to make Win10 Widgets BIGGER and BRIGHTER?
Thanks. I am playing with the colors now. But confused why some colors have three numbers and others have four numbers. When I go to websites such as colorizer.org they appear to use three numbers.
BackgroundColor=24,24,24,255
BorderColor=100,100,100,100
vs.
CPUBlue=0,133,255
NetworkOrangeDark=255,85,0
NetworkOrangeLight=255,153,0
What do I do when there are four numbers?

R = Red, G = Green, B = Blue, Alpha (0 = transparent, 255 = Opaque ) this is optional, if you leave this out it will default to 255

Re: How to make Win10 Widgets BIGGER and BRIGHTER?
As eclectic-tech said, the fourth number is the Alpha or transparency, if it's missing (only the first three) it's intended is solid color (completely opaque).
If you want to change transparency, add the fourth number (if it's missing) and play with it, 255 is full opaque, 0 is completely transparent.

Re: How to make Win10 Widgets BIGGER and BRIGHTER?
Re-read my post...
If there are 4 numbers, the 4th controls transparency: 0 ~ invisible to 255 ~ solid
If there are only 3 numbers, the colors will be solid
EDIT: I stopped to read a WIKI article ... thanks to Cyber and fonpaolo for clarifying what I thought was pretty clear

Re: How to make Win10 Widgets BIGGER and BRIGHTER?
Thanks, I got colors & transparency figured out.
If making an overall bigger version is not possible:
-how can the graph line be made thicker?
-how can the font size of the letters "CPU" be made smaller, and the font size of the "10%" be made bigger?

Line meter option: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/meters/line/#LineWidth

Fontsize: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/meters/string/#FontSize
The skins may use styles, but if you set the actual size in the meter, it will be used instead of the preset style.

Re: How to make Win10 Widgets BIGGER and BRIGHTER?
Thanks. I found LineWidth in performanceTemplateX4.ini, changing them from 1 to 3 worked well.
I've tried every combination of changing font sizes in styles.ini and the CPU.ini, nothing is working.

If you post the code for the skin, and explain the desired result, perhaps someone here can help you with the font size changes you are trying to achieve ...tzr916 wrote:Thanks. ...
