Customization / Skins & Themes / System Monitoring / Rainmeter

SimplyNova is an old skin of mine (my first as a matter of fact). After being voted Skin of the Month on the Rainmeter group it has gained nearly 500,000 downloads through out all the sites it's currently on and is used in many different ways by Rainmeter users, admins and teachers.

I have gone through all the code and corrected mistakes (always an ongoing process though), got rid of unneeded code, added comments through all files and much more. There are a few changes from the original - better link icons (which as of yet still need some work to allow for icons that you'll actually want/need as users.

I love seeing what people do with these skins - so if you use it please shoot me a message with a link. I don't care what you do with it - just like to see the different uses

UPDATE | 05.04.2013 | Fixed title fonts that show in preview put didn't lately when skin was installed.
UPDATE | 03.28.2013 | Resources folder added with default font.
UPDATE | 03.28.2013 | Comments through out each .ini file answering most basic questions.
UPDATE | 03.28.2013 | Got rid of Token Icons due to better GUI appeal (minimalistic is much better)

Thank you

Nice skin, loving it. Quick question, on your screenshot you have a nice text on the lefthand bar that says "network stats", "hard drives" and etc. How do you get them?

~Nova-7-Sev-dd Apr 15, 2013 Professional General Artist

It's part of each meter - so it should show up automatically. Are you working with a background where you might not possibly see it? Also, make sure the bar's position is set to bottom or on desktop. Otherwise, I'll have to figure out where I might have made a mistake...can you show me a screen capture by chance? The only other thing I can think of is an issue with the font, but it should be there automatically.

~MajorWobble Apr 16, 2013

This is how it looks on my second monitor: [link]
But there i have added the text to the vertical bar.ini manually because they didnt show up for me. Not with the bar set to bottom either. Check the first picture on the link for how i added it, pretty straight forward and probably not the best approach.

~Nova-7-Sev-dd Apr 16, 2013 Professional General Artist

Well, you've added it perfectly fine. I would have included a style for all the meters to reference but that's not a big deal at all. I'm really not sure why it's not showing up. That's very weird to me. It shows up for mine just fine, and I have yet to hear of anyone else with this issue. If you feel like taking the time, maybe shoot me a message on my facebook page with the code you have for the disks meter. Everything relating to the title part of the code.

~MajorWobble Apr 15, 2013

Sorted it out now, and i got to learn some rainmetering in the process aswell!

Just add it to the bar vertical.ini

i've tried to change the execute links on the horizontal bars so that one opens google chrome. i've done this fine but every time i click the icon it just opens a new chrome window instead of the one i normally use (which is set to carry on from where i was last before i closed the window) any ideas how i can make it open the window that is normally used? also do you have to place icons somewhere in rainmeter for the names to be recognised, as i changed the facebook icon to the dark chrome icon but it just goes blank after i refresh the bar..

It most likely starts a brand new session of the program you call. To be honest I don't know much on this specific subject. My guess is that since it's calling the base .exe program it starts anew. I would check the Rainmeter forums on this subject.

As for the icons - you'll have to place whatever image you're using into the Rainmeter folder that the images are called for. In this case, it'll just be under /Documents/Rainmeter/Skins/SimplyNova/Bar Horizontal. You'll see in there the icons that I use as default (only the 2 plus their mouse over counter parts). Once you've added your icon here - you'll want to right click on the bar, select edit skin.

In this code, you'll want to change the code quite a bit because of the hovering part that I included (I later plan to add instructions on how to simplify this process - sorry that it's not there yet). Basically - just to have the single icon that is clickable you'll want to utilize the code below.

[MeterIconOne]
Meter=image
ImageName=facebook.png
X=40
Y=30
W=43
H=31
LeftMouseUpAction=!execute ["this area is the path for your .exe file"]

The X position is your left to right positioning, Y is for top to bottom. W and H is width and height which you may want to adjust depending on your new icon size. ImageName is obviously what you'll want to use to call your icon/image that you copied to the folder.

Let me know if you need anything else.
