Long status-bar possible with Rainmeter?

Post by Biru »

Hello everyone :)

I just found out about Rainmeter, everything about it looks very nice and promising. I'm looking for a small bar, like the windows taskbar, that shows all hardware monitor settings like temperature etc. I'm NOT looking for a small gadget/window/box that stays at the right corner of the screen.
I would like to have a bar, that cuts some rows from the top (or side) of the screen and stays "on top" (like the windows-taskbar behaves) for all other programs (except games/movies).

Is it possible to do something like that with rainmeter?

Edit: I'm looking for something like "FuBar" for World of Warcraft The Bar at the bottom

Yes, you can do that, search DeviantArt or Customize.org for this kind of taskbar skins that you like (there are many), and then use Rainmeter's DesktopWorkArea setting to make the skin always "view-able".

I'm a bit confused, i can't find a group on customize.org that is called DeviantArt. What exactly do I habe to look for? Do I just need a Taskbar skin and i can put all Rainmeter functions in there automaticly?

It's Deviantart.com and Customize.org, but maybe you should start with reading The Manual and Rainmeter 101 :welcome:

maybe I'm too dumb for customize.org, I've found some nice things on Deviantart, but I'll write my own bar now, seems to be a lot faster this way. Thanks for the help :)
