Help on creating my own skin: where would I start?

[CodeCode]

Is there a decent enough difference that makes switching to one of these worthwhile? I don't know how one text editor could be more favorable than another, but that's likely because I don't understand the function of any third party add ons to these text editors.

I have used extensively both Notepad++ and Sublimetext3. Notepad++ seems to have more snippets available, but Sublimetext3 has a WAY better darkmode.

Here is the sublime rainmeter page with documentation to get it or install it automatically using sublimetext's built-in packagecontrol.
