Global click recorder possible?

[Kyremi]

Late one night I was wondering how many clicks, per average, I do in one session of using the PC. So obviously the next step is to make something which records this and displays it nicely... is this something Rainmeter can do? I found several mouse events at http://rainmeter.net/cms/MouseActions but it seems to imply that it recognises the event only when it occurs on the skin itself; I'd want it to be global i.e. whatever program has focus, the skin would still count the mouse clicks.
Is this possible?

Not with Rainmeter. As you discovered, Rainmeter only knows when you click on a skin. It has no way of monitoring your clicks in other programs.

Here's something I found in a cursory Google search to count global clicks.

Ah well, pity. The concept seems simple enough that I think I'll try to write a little C# program to do this rather than download an existing one... cheers for the info
