Measure your system performance in style

Rainmeter is an incredibly customizable performance meter for your Windows desktop. This open-source project displays various essential system information such as CPU, RAM, network, weather forecast, battery power, RSS feeds, playlist, picture, and many more.

It serves as a personalization tool also as it features skin themes that are highly customizable to your liking. You will be able to choose from a variety of skin themes and if you have eyed what you like, you just need to download it. This is a free-of-charge utility tool that is made by the community. 

Is Rainmeter safe?

With the use of more than 50 antivirus software, Rainmeter has been proven and tested to be safe and secure to use. It flags no potential virus or risk for your computer at all.  Aside from that, it can also do some pretty cool things to your Windows desktop. For instance, it now actually comes pre-installed with a theme called Enigma—a desktop skin type wherein you can add clocks, calendars, and RSS, as well as a whole range of system monitors. 

Enigma has been included specifically because it makes your desktop into a really functional space. You can move different meter windows around on a whim, edit their skins relatively easily, tweak the transparency, and even make them disappear completely.

More intuitive interface, confusing configurations

Once a relatively complicated application, the developers of this customizable personalization utility have increasingly striven to make the meter's interface more user-friendly. While Rainmeter has improved its user-friendliness substantially, beginners can still easily get lost in the configuration options and settings. 

There's really not much reason to mess around with them at all though unless you want to create your own look. Adding new skins is now much easier and doesn't require coding, although if you want a challenge the option to personalize with your own code is still available

Customize your desktop uniquely

Rainmeter is a personalization software that gives you the power to style your desktop display in a creative at the same time functional way. The customizable skin themes that it provides don't only look elegant, but it is also packed with extensive features that can come in handy to monitor your productivity or computer's performance. This program solution offers an easier approach to personalize Windows and revolutionize its looks efficiently.
