Set plugin measures and meters for display values, like this;

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
BackgroundMode=2
SolodColor=128,128,128,192

[MeasureCoreTemp]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=CoreTemp
CoreTempType=MaxTemperature

[MeasureCPUMHz]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=CoreTemp
CoreTempType=CpuSpeed

[MeterCoreTemp]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureCoreTemp
X=5
Y=5
Text=MaxCoreTemp.: %1 deg.

[MeterCPUMHz]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureCPUMHz
X=5
Y=20
Text=CPU Freq.: %1 MHz
Needless to say, don't forget to launch CoreTemp program before skin loading.

Or after, doesn't matter, important is that the code works only when CoreTemp app is running (in background for instance).

Hi balala
Yes, the skin works either before or after...:-)

hello3000, if the CoreTemp app is not launched, CoreTemp plugin returns zero values, and after the CoreTemp is launched the relevant values are shown in the skin. So "don't forget" might be an overstatement.

Where do I set the plugin measures and meters? Is there a download for the CoreTemp plugin on that page? I'm not seeing it. I have the latest coretemp downloaded just unsure were the skin download is for rainmeter.

In the code of your skin.

CoreTemp is a built-in plugin, so you don't have to install, just simply use it.

You need to copy and paste the code from mak_kawa into your text editor and create a new skin.

The easiest way is do that is to follow the steps in "Creating your first skin" but instead of typing in code, simply paste mak_kawa's code and save the file.

Refresh All in Rainmeter and you can load the new skin that appears in the Manage dialog.

Actually, just to be precise, when a user opens the Create new skin dialog from the Manage Rainmeter tool and creates a config and a skin (and any additional required tool, like the @Resources folder), then finally clicks the Close button, Rainmeter executes a refresh, so there is no need to manually do a Refresh All.
Hope you don't mind I added this.
