What are some alternatives? When comparing Rainmeter and Real Temp, you can also consider the following products I couldn't get rainmeter to work but here's a link anyway. I used TaskbarX to make the icons in the taskbar centered and wallpaper engine can be found on steam for somewhere around 4-8 dollars depending where you live. Added a bit more to my BOTW setup (thank you u/xeterios for telling me on how to add glow to the text and u/DiDgr8 for the wallpaper) I would love the ability to pin widgets to the desktop - Here's my concept. Use Rainmeter 'Mond' skin (Mond Skin Rainmeter Site), just look up some rainmeter tutorials on youtube, it can get pretty confusing. As u/SaberAkiyama mentioned, the the GitHub site. There isn't any particular value in leaving open the 'sensors' window for HWiNFO while you are setting up the skin, or ever really.No issues here either opening.

It is however, the best tool I have found for creating really robust Rainmeter skins that monitor sensor-based resources. It's not something that is particularly 'plug and play' for the end-user. I'd be hesitant to widely distribute a skin that used it. I confess that configuring a skin to use HWiNFO is not entirely trivial. Use the skin - what it displays (er, in one of its windows) together with its code - to work out what code to put in one's own skin. (This yield two running programs with almost identical taskbar icons.) Obtain the skin from the page you linked and run the skin. Obtain and install the HwInfo application and configure it to run on startup and find its setting for the GPU sensor and enable that sensor. It seems one has to do all of the following.
