Re: ModernGadgets 1.7.0

This would indeed be good news, except the GpuMeter ModernGadgets skin requires shared memory support to be turned on in order for the GpuMeter skin to function and the tutorial you linked says to keep shared memory support off. If shared memory support is turned off, the skin displays an error message.

This is likely some conflict with his system and the HWiNFO plugin.
The good news is that you don't really need the plugin anymore.

No, ModernGadgets 1.7.0 requires the shared memory option. Raiguard has not updated his suite to use the newer non-shared memory option of HWiNFO 7.x. So, you need either HWiNFO 6.42 or HWiNFO Pro 7.x. 6.42 is still available and still free.dhmolson wrote: ↑July 29th, 2021, 1:16 am This would indeed be good news, except the GpuMeter ModernGadgets skin requires shared memory support to be turned on in order for the GpuMeter skin to function and the tutorial you linked says to keep shared memory support off.

Is there a way around this?
Bummer. I have the pro version but it sounds like using shared memory support is what keeps causing rainmeter to crash for me. It sounds like I'll have to either deal with constant crashes or use a different skin until Raiguard updates his suite.SilverAzide wrote: ↑July 29th, 2021, 2:12 am No, ModernGadgets 1.7.0 requires the shared memory option.

Yes... your Performance Counters database is corrupted. See the instructions on PerfMon Troubleshooting on Raiguard's wiki.
Well, I don't really like to promote my own stuff on Raiguard's thread, but try the Gadgets if you want while you are waiting. Raiguard used these as the basis for his suite, so they are similar skins. I've updated the suite to use HWiNFO 7.x. You can make it look a little more "moderny", but it won't be quite as modern as ModernGadgets.
Thanks! Got it fixed. Any idea what causes this to happen?SilverAzide wrote: ↑July 29th, 2021, 3:01 am Yes... your Performance Counters database is corrupted. See the instructions on PerfMon Troubleshooting on Raiguard's wiki.
I downloaded it and it looks fine. Not as modern as ModernGadgets like you said but at least it doesn't crash Rainmeter. I do wish there were more customization options though. Any chance you could add the ability to only show overall CPU usage instead of showing the usage for every individual core on the CPU Meter skin?SilverAzide wrote: ↑July 29th, 2021, 3:06 am Well, I don't really like to promote my own stuff on Raiguard's thread, but try the Gadgets if you want while you are waiting.
