Rain Meter

[Chickensoup23]

Can anybody provide a guide for retards?

I'm good with hardware, as I've built more than 10 computers for friends, family, etc, but when it comes to techy software stuff...I suck. All that I know, I learned it myself, so no advances classes or w/e has been taken. I'm a fast learner and I like to figure out stuff.

I like customizing and modding stuff, but it looks like chinese for me atm.

Don't be a dick, I know I'm horrible.

What?

I mean seriously. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to program a software rain gauge? Are you trying to make an addon? I think the resident programmers need more detail...

Voila. The skin. This is MMO-Champ, not overclock.net. Some people in here are kinda bad with software n shit.

Customize it a bit. I've loaded Enigma (default, if I'm right), having some fun. But it's confusing.

Gotta learn stuff like that one day, I guess.

It's essentially a desktop HUD. I tried it once, couldn't make heads or tails of it. Sorry.

Perhaps this and this and this will help?

Yes, what do you want it to...? It works in scripting and it all depends what you want it to do lol

Dunno, I figured out a couple things. I agree it's quite complicated if you have no idea of what you're doing. Got like 2 things down and it's been like an hour...

Any help, still?

Did the links I provided here help you?

I've got an hour of free time, I'll write a guide. I'll edit this post when it's done.

[Chickensoup23]

On its way! It's doable. Takes some time thought.

Thanks all.

EDIT: Figured out how to use feeds and codes, and how to modify skins by editing them. Learning stuff

Also, if you're writing stuff, make sure that someone with little knowledge can understand it.
Thanks again,

Chicken

Never mind, that's word for word what I was going to type. >.>

It is complicated. When I first got it, messed with it for like an hour, then deleted it. 30 min later, redownloaded and messed with it again, and I love the damn thing.

I used to have it. I'll probably set it up again after I get my bandwagon CPU in tomorrow.

is this like some weird samurize-like program?

I have to laugh every time you say that :P

[BicycleMafioso]

Hm. I just tried Rainmeter. Don't like it. I'll keep bloating my desktop instead, methinks.

OP here! After 3 hours of work to understand it:

Why two dates?

Wow, that's...really breathtaking.

How do you get to infrequently used programs, though?

I'd wager the taskbar is set to autohide.
