Finding a skin that displays top processes by memory?

Kalia · Post by **Kalia** » August 8th, 2014, 12:35 pm

I love the Enigma skin that shows top processes by CPU use, (looks like this: http://imgur.com/xqMAIuT) and I was wondering if there was another skin that showed top processes by RAM/memory use? I've been searching for one all morning, and they either look completely different to Enigma, (I just want something white and simple,) or don't work.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I've seen a few people now asking for a skin like this and I finally created my own solution, from Mordasius' comment at: http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14245

While there are no bars like in the Enigma processes skin, I edited the code so that it has the same font, colour, size, etc.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
DynamicWindowSize=1

[Style]
FontFace=Trebuchet MS
FontSize=7.5
FontColor=255,255,255,255
StringStyle=Normal
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
AntiAlias=1


[MeasureTopMem]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\TopProcesses.dll
ReQuery=1

;-> : If you use GlobalIgnoredProcesses to filter, processes will be excluded from all measures using the TopProcesses plugin
GlobalIgnoredProcesses=_Total|dwm

;-> : Metric for which to determine top processes (CPU or Memory)
MetricType=Memory

;-> : The top processes to find can be a single number (e.g. 0 = top one process) or a range (0-4 = top five processes)
ProcNums=0-9

;-> : Format in which to return the results... any string including the following keys: %pName %pID %CPU %Memory
;-> : You can also get a substring of a key; e.g. to trim the name to 8 chars use this format: s(%pName,0,7)
Format="s(%pName,0,10) %Memory"

;-> Using UpdateDivider=5 reduces CPU usage considerably
UpdateDivider=5

[MemoryTitleText]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=Style
Text=" "

[TopMemText]
Meter=String
MeterStyle=Style
MeasureName=MeasureTopMem
X=10
Y=22

If anyone knows how to make a line break/space between each process that would be nice, as at the moment it looks extremely bunched up - but otherwise it works pretty well.

I was about to post modified Enigma code, but you already created something similar...

To space the display, the only solution I have found is to modify the Format= by adding #CRLF# to the end; Format="%pName: %Memory#CRLF#"

Of course you will probably want fewer items, so change ProcNums=0-4 to only show the top 5 memory items.

Here's my modified Enigma code if you are interested; it uses the Enigma styles:

eclectic-tech it looks amazing and I would totally hug you right now if I could.

Thankyou so much!!

No problem...

I came across another tip to right-align parts of the info by adding another measure (duplicate with a different Format=) and a meter to right-align...

Code:

Nice! One amendment I did make was change the line:

Format="%pName:#CRLF#"
to
Format="s(%pName,0,17):#CRLF#"

As I found that otherwise really long process names would display over the top of the numbers.

Forgot about clipping

Good find!

Using right-aligned %Memory values, gives more room, so I set mine to clip the name at the 20th character; Format="s(%pName,0,20):#CRLF#" ... [edit]of course this depends on the Font4 variable setting in Enigma, so '17' might be better!
