[Celeras]

How dare you accuse me of doing something so asinine. GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR.

(yea that's what I was doing thanks )

Hi guys, I'm using default AdvancedCPU.dll to show single top process, but recently it stop working, don't know why, I didn't change anything in CPU skin, have no idea how to fix it, can you help me?

Code: Select all

[MeasureTopProcess]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\AdvancedCPU.dll
TopProcess=2
CPUExclude=Idle;dwm;System;wmpnetwk;csrss;svchost;lsass

[MeterTopProcessLabel]
Meter = String
MeterStyle = styleBodyText
MeasureName=MeasureTopProcess
Y = 4
X = 294
Text="Top Proc: %1"

Sorry, fixed already by adding W=200 H=19 to the meter

I've played with TopProcesses.dll and it works quite nicely.

I do however have some suggestions that you might want to add to it:

- A feature to filter by minimum CPU use, for example:

minCpuUse=0.5

Would only return the Top Processes that have atleast 0.5% CPU use -- if that's none, then it returns nothing. This keeps the Top Processes list in your skin nice and clean when the system is idling, but it will show you the heavy CPU users as soon as they go above 0.5%.

- Some way to get the CPU percentage as a number (something that the Bar Meter can handle). I tried feeding it the result of format="%Cpu" but that didn't work.

I wanted to create a top 3, with name on the left, percentage on the right and a bar below each of the top 3 items (by creating seperate measures if needed for all of the parts).

I cleaned up the skin on page 1. Here you go. I just don't understand why the Google Drive exe has a #1 after it.

Oh and before someone asked me about firefox almost using half a gig. It is heavily customized and I have 16GB of RAM so who cares.

[Seahorse]

There are a few pixels to be saved on the two instances of Plugin=Plugins\TopProcesses.dll which can simply read Plugin=TopProcesses...

Hello all.

By any chance, is it possible to filter top processes by "starting time" instead of memory or CPU?
Thanks in advance

Sir, Rainmeter stops working when i paste TopProcess.dll inside the Plug-in folder. I already tried to fix Perfmo and cmd said its successful. Can you provide a detailed installation guide for me? im just a noob. I'm not sure if i did it correctly.

[Mordasius]

If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows-7 you might like to try deleting TopProcess.dll from the folder you pasted it in and try pasting it in C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Defaults\Plugins
