The site has been updated once again after my first dip into the WordPress pool. I'll be moving all of my Rainmeter support to the forum on my site once I get it a bit more completed. Check it out at www.novasev.com/ and let me know what you think.

So after some feedback I've decided to do another version of SimplyNova - this will be a re work of a few things to make it unique. You can see the original SimplyNova here, as well as version 2 here.

  • Adding GPU & CPU meters

  • Different layout - not HUGE difference but enough to justify it as version 3

  • Adding some new items to the network meters

  • Lots of changes in the code to streamline customization efforts for users

  • Plus, a lot more as I think of things or people ask for it


One thing I'd like to outsource since I suck with graphics is getting someone to create some custom weather icons for use with this skin. Let me know if you'd be interested in doing some work with me on that one - I'll need you to be good. I can give a list of icons that will be needed if you haven't already done this before. Thanks - let me know what you think and/or if you have any extra ideas!

I'm putting a lot more work into the SimplyNova skin as time goes on compared to the past. The updates are starting to take up a lot of room so I'm going to start putting them here. I also plan to add a lot of the other options here such as items that are coming soon, publications and everything in between. One concise place - easy to follow. Also another place to talk specifically about the updates - requests, questions, and/or issues dealing with the updates. Hope this works out well.

AS FOR THOSE THAT ARE SEEING THIS AFTER NOT CHECKING ON THE SKIN IN THE PAST MONTH OR SO - I'VE DONE A LOT OF UPDATES TO IT - GET THE NEW ONE! :)

NOTICE | Passwords for the Gmail meter must not contain Rainmeter specific characters (# ; ) these are not escapable characters either.
NOTICE | Wallpaper is something that changes on the preview from time to time as I upload new versions - I try to provide a link anytime one is used that is not originally mine but sometimes there is just no way to add a link due to the age of the downloaded wallpaper.

I'm re writing the tutorial for adding removable drive metering to Rainmeter skins and would love to hear what you'd like to learn in this newer version. I'll be writing it into the SimplyNova skin while explaining it enough so that you could add it to any other skin (with a little more work on your end obviously). Let me know, tag me in Facebook, Google+ and/or Twitter. I'll be checking the next few days :)

A lot of the stuff that I have done work on and uploaded here (and other places) has been in some way from other people at times. I try to provide credit to anyone that I use but some times just don't catch it all. So if you notice something - please let me know so I can make sure the situation is handled quickly and properly. :)
