The new ARM laptops using the Qualcomm Snapdragon X chips are rising in popularity, and will no doubt become the standard going forward for future non-desktop mobile Windows computing. Likely half of new laptops produced by 2026 will be ARM-based.
Are there any plans to create an ARM version of Rainmeter to be able to take advantage of the new efficiency and processing power on ARM chips?

It would be great to hear from anyone in the community as to whether Rainmeter runs OK in emulation mode.

As far as I could grasp from the below, it already "should" work:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/overview
But yeah, it would be nice to know how an actual test on such a device goes.
Not sure if making an ARM only version of Rainmeter to get all its benefits is something the devs thought about. I suspect that would increase the workload to have multiple Rainmeter versions targeting various architectures.
