3 years later and I finally got round to trying this out!
Although I actually used the RMskin from eclectic-tech using balala's code. Thanks to you both for supplying that.
I have tweaked it to get it working with changing the FontColor instead of using RoundMeter's, my preference. I did attempt to change the RoundMeter's for StrokeColor, but this proved difficult, so I opted for a more preferred minimalist approach and just changed FontColor instead. Works a treat!
One thing though, I noticed that the PerfMon plugin has been deprecated, so I'm trying to replace the code for use with the UsageMonitor plugin. However, I'm stuck getting the correct syntax to get it working. Any chance of some help please... Thanks
I've changed the [mDiskRead1] & [mDiskWrite1]sections, but it's not doing what it should.
What do I do with the PerfMonInstance=C: line of code? How do I specify what Disk to monitor using UsageMonitor?
Is that all that is needed to get it to work?
EDIT:
I found the Instance=C: so I changed that. I was looking at the bottom in the blue sections of the manual and it's at the top!
Still not working though. Here's the updated code:

Try to replace the Counter option of both measures, [mDiskWrite1] and [mDiskRead1] (Counter=Bytes Write/sec and Counter=Bytes Read/sec) with Counter=Disk Write Bytes/sec respectivelly Counter=Disk Read Bytes/sec.

Almost!
Now for some reason they all light up the same colour at the same time. There's no independently working monitor!
Any ideas?
