thanks chris, although, it does work on windows 7 rc1 64bit, but the cpu & weather & ram overlap the date, basically screwing the whole thing up, but still, its an awesome config.

If you rightclick rainmeter and choose “minimal” it will expand out – lots of options like save postion and drag and drop and that sort of stuff – the one you want is “edit skin” (or you can edit the ini file from the minimal folder)

Edit the X and Y coordinates – for the time being any of the meters for time/data [meterHour] change the Y value to 100. If there is already a Y value (ie Y=20) then make it 120.

Save the INI file and then right click the rainmeter icon and choose refresh all.

I have the info up on my desktop with rainmeter, however the CPU usage and weather etc is overlapping the main date. It will let me drag around all of the content as one but not each individual stat. Can anyone help?

It seems as though this does not work with Windows 7, as the applet keeps freezing up. I have tried removing the RAM and CPU functions, but to no avail. Quite a shame.

Also, to Steven above me, you simply create a folder called “Minimal” in ‘C:/Program Files/Rainmeter/Skins’ and then put the Minimal.ini inside of it, then reload the program it will be visible in the selection options.

Cheers,

Chris.
