Okay, i just have to wait for the next Rainmeter update to come out, to check if the skin is really works automatically. You know, it slides down, if a new update available, and displays the new and the current versions.
As soon as it works flawlessly, i will post the skin pack!

Are you working on triangles as stand-alone shapes or will that be something to create with the upcomming Shape=Path 0,0 | LineTo 50,0 | LineTo 50,50 | ... ?
It would be cool to fill the weird and changing shapes this skin creates
We are not opposed to adding some "popular" shapes stand alone, but a triangle is really a pretty simple three segment closed path. We concentrated on Rectangle, since it is some work to round the corners manually, and Ellipse, which is tricky to get symmetrical with just curves..
As you will see in a couple of hours, a triangle is really just two segments and a ClosePath.
We have added some "image spoilers" in the documentation for the Shape meter. While we didn't want to bulk up the length of the page with a lot of images, there are a few cases where a picture is worth a thousand words. They are in:
I encountered a strange phenomenon. I finished my notes skin, and all my shapes are working flawelessly, except some simple path-to-path shapes, what i added lastly. Somehow it seems the red values are not working in the Fill Color section!

With the posted option no color will work. The Shape option of the [ShapeMeter1] meter is wrong. The equal is not needed. replace the Shape=Path MyPath | StrokeWidth 0 | Fill Color[color=#FF0000]=[/color]255,0,0,255 option with Shape=Path MyPath | StrokeWidth 0 | Fill Color 255,0,0,255

Why did i do that? The equation sign is in my reflexes
Thank you very much! Most of the time tiredness is not a good option to debug codes
