Help me decide if Rainmeter is for me

Post by innn »

Hello
First time here I have some questions if anyone is kind to guide me I appreciate.
So, I am not interested in skinning my windows(I've got over that ), having desktop cluttered with beautifully laid info about my system because I do not stare at desktop wallpaper not one minute in my use of my computer nor at what dresses have the windows.
Would be hard because I spent most of my time in web browser and/or editor and see nothing else.
What I want is a couple of small indicators (cpu usage, temp, clock) that can sit always on top(not on desktop, not beneath) of all open windows and are transparent.
I've done much research on internet and only found an analog clock to be used with samurize program and for calendar the usual suspects : outlook or google calendar.

The only bottomed should be a calendar app taking whole screen estate. I know I am pretentious fellow. That is my workflow.
Is it possible with Rainmeter?
I apologize if I will irritate someone with my requests.

all this can be done with Rainmeter, it supports transparency and can be set to remain always on top. see here for examples: http://www.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=rainmeter
if you want a calendar with real functionality you are better off with Rainlendar. http://rainlendar.net/cms/index.php
