needs core temp installed

version 014
various minor improvements in the code, basically just sharing my latest files after a while
___________________________________
version 013
>added a flimsy method to change width of the skin, until I can fin some more time to make a better scaling option
___________________________________
version 012
>RAM and Up Time were interchanged
>You can now doubleclick on Up Time box to toggle between Up Time and Total Data consumption (by default Up Time is shown, to change this "interchange" the values of hms and hms2 variables.
>ToolTip Text on Battery Bar now shows Battery Lifetime. If your PC is charging or time is not available it will show "Unknown"
>RAM color was made more prominent.
>Added some more info down below that I forgot to mention..... oops
___________________________________
version 011
>A dark mode was added for light colored desktops (right click on settings icon to change to dark mode, left click for light mode)
>An issue was fixed that made inaccurate data usage measurement. Although, you may still get inaccurate readings especially if you have a VPN installed. If you want to fix it yourself open the [MeasureNetIn/OutCumulative] Measure and add any formula that you find fixes this for you. There is no general solution, every PC has its own formula.
>Meter update rate was lowered, you should see less usage by this skin when using laptop in battery saver mode.
>If you find that Up/Down speeds are inaccurate, try changing the formula in [ValIn] [ValOut] Measures.

>Top User was edited to better show the values, a new line was added into the graph which shows the top user value (You can see it as a white line in the histogram
>Averaging Values and Skin Update rate were tweaked. Now You have 75ms update rate for 71s of data tracking, the averaging values are now limited between 10 and 320.
___________________________________
version 010
>CPU frequency was re-added next to temperature, both frequency and temperature font size is now smaller
>Smoothness value can now go up to 256
>Battery Bar was fixed, now it should correctly display the state of battery in tooltip text
>3 new hidden buttons are added, they are hidden behind the top, middle and bottom section of battery bar (tooltip text shows what button does), clicking on these buttons activates High Performance, Balanced and Power Saver mode respectively.
___________________________________
version 009
>CPU frequency was removed and replaced with top CPU user, it shows both the program and use percentage
>Overhauled how the CPU usage was calculated to improve performance and enhance functionality
>I tried a new method to calculate Network and Data Usage, both should be withing 10% of actual usage, the skin shows slightly more than actual values here
___________________________________
version 008
>made it easier to click on UP/DN to change average size of data
>Some meters were changed a bit
>The Data measures were changed, previously resetting Data would use !ResetStats and that would reset system value, now it is made similar to how Session stats are used. Play with it and refresh the skin to get the system value of Up/Down total data consumed.
___________________________________
version 007
>some calculation formulas were changed to give more appealing look and more options
>Now you can click on UP/DN to make the graphs smooth or more real-time

Default value for averaging is 64, by clicking UP or DN you are doubling or halving the average size, this effects how the graphs are calculated. High average value (max 128) give a very smooth graph but it takes longer to reach real value, lower average size (min 1) gives you more real-time traffic, though it would become impossible to read the graph.
___________________________________
version 006
>Now you can single click on refresh buttons to reset stats.
>Temperature Stats are now accurate to 0.01 degree Celsius.
>Some adjustment was made to how Net Speed and usage is calculated.
>Battery bar dynamically changes color depending on charge value.
>The "UP" and "DN" text changes color to show network network activity, they change color if Upload/Download speed is above 10 Kbps
>Ram Line was thickened, now it should be more visible.
>Measures in the skin were updated so they are less taxing to system resources.
___________________________________
version 005
>An icon was added next Speed, click it to launch Task Manager
>Some Issues regarding Up/Down Speed and Data was resolved, now you should see values much closer to actual values*.

*This skin should not be used to accurately predict your data usage especially if you use a network with data cap. At most I was able to make sure that the values in Speed and Data are slightly higher than your actual data. Still the values this skin shows are only "Close" to real values.
___________________________________
version 004
>Massive update to the skin, should be easier to read and find what you're looking for.
>Temperature, UP/DN, RAM and CPU Usage Color has been changed to match their lines.
>A Battery bar is included which can be seen right at the beginning of the Lines. Each line crossing it marks 20%. A tooltip is also added.
>Two refresh Buttons are added, one next to Session only resets the session stats while one next to Data resets all the stats.
>Separate TextStyles are used for actual data and header. Some options are given for easy changing.
>For anyone wishing to edit the skin it should be easier to find what you're looking for.
___________________________________
version 003
>Due to some errors, the CPU line was not showing accurate data, its now fixed.
>Same is true for CPU Usage meter
>A box was created around skin to make it more readable (can be disabled by removing last 3 meters)
>Skin Font was changed, (can be reverted to old style by changing commenting in [TextStyle]
>Colors of UP/Down lines should be more pronounced
___________________________________
version 002
>Added a line for RAM stats

couldn't decide how to use Rainmeter so created my own skin, maybe you'll find interesting.

UPDATE: I'm surprised at how detailed this skin came out to be and how much information it can display at a glance. Although this has been my own pet project, specifically for me only, I'll be happy to put in more features if you like, just so I could learn more about Rainmeter. This has been an illuminating experience. I'm happy with this skin as is, so I won't be updating it soon if no requests are put forward.
