gadgets or anythin

Guys, i'm lookin for a gadget, smth medium in size which displays the date and cpu stats at the same time, i prefer smth like the rainmeter's arc, but then i dont really know how to utilize the rainmeter (newbie here)

I am a long-time Rainer. Just today, I dumped Windows Gadgets for Rainmeter skins. Smaller memory footprint, way more customization. See the new home of RainMeter at rainmeter - Google Code

Skins are abundant. Google Rainmeter skins

hey, hm yeah i have installed rainmeter and enigma too, deleted enigma already tho, i only utilise the big clock which the call it the arc. Because its a bunch of codes which i am afraid i might screw up

Try Xpert 1.0 or TransGrey - it is so very easy to add/remove items. Just edit the text file.

downloaded Xpert 1.0 so, what do i do with the .ini files?

Place the Xpert 1.0 folder under ..\Rainmeter\Skins folder, to look like
\Rainmeter\Skins\XPert 1.0\

Once done, rt click the Rainmeter systray icon, select Xpert 1.0 and one of the skin names

Thanks! Antman for ur rainmeter tips, you just made my life easier, btw, my rainmeter has to be activated manually everytime my pc restarts, eventho i has rainmeter as the admin under the privileges, any tips?

Not sure what you mean. I am aware that some users report startup issues and I can provide you some info there- first, let's clarify.

Did you place a shortcut to Rainmeter in your startup folder?

I disable UAC, so I might need a few reboots to help you.

Hmm, no i did not place a shortcut, but everytime i reboot my pc, i have to run rainmeter so that all my configs will appear
