WiseRain

Status: Revisited 202409 - Much Improved, still an issue with the monitor stats being investigated, but that will be it then.

DESCRIPTION

Here is the official Wiseman-Timelord RainMeter skin, yes there is one. This skin is a PowerShell focused skin, flashing powershell scripts on a delay, for lower processing, while utilizing "PowershellRM" plugin. Its an advanced custom rain-meter skin based on powershell scripts with all, of the other things in place and done through the use of cmdlets and built-in windows powershell. I associate it with programs like, Task Monitor or Process Hacker, as I would otherwise likely be gaining such info with such a program.

FEATURES

• ** Dark Theme **: Designed for dark-themed desktops, where the background is dark and the text is light.
• ** User Friendly **: Use of powershell scripts with clearly commented global variables at the top, for customized readings.
• ** Multi-Panel **: Currently has 3 modular panels, System and Network, and the recently enhanced Monitor.
• ** Plugin Enhancement **: Use of "PowershellRM" with, Ps1s and Psd1 (=>v1.02), for enhanced powershell support.
• ** Compatibility **: Supports, IPv4 and truncated IPv6, display of IP address on network panel.
• ** Real-World Units **: Monitoring of, Disk and Network bandwidth usage rate.
• ** Text Graphics **: Monitoring of CPU Usage with text Graphics, example Usage - 69% - ###### .

NOTATION

• When updating, I suggest deleting the old "WiseRain" folder and replacing with the new, unless its a minor update, in which case replace/over-write.
• If you do not use a Ramdrive, then, change the drive letter and rename the label, to whatever...things should not be left to a dead location.
