Download Rainmeter 3.0.2 r2161

Version 3.0.2 has been released from Rainmeter. With this program, all kinds of useful and less meaningful information can be displayed on the desktop in real time, such as free hard drive space, network activity and whether there is new e-mail. Functional applets can also be used to, for example, make notes or send tweets. The main change in version 3.0 is the switch from gdi+ to Direct2D for image building, with the developers mainly looking at displaying text on the screen. Since then, a few more minor flaws have been found and they have now been resolved.
