Download Rainmeter 3.0 r2022 beta

A new version from Rainmeter’s 3.0 development has been released. This program can display all kinds of information on the desktop in real time, such as free hard disk space, network activity and whether there is new email. Functional applets can also be used to, for example, make notes or send tweets. Version 3.0 can handle older themes and skins, so the new version can be installed without any worries. In the 2022 release of the 3.0 version, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Removed

• String meter: Due to problems and inconsistent behavior, removed the ability to include trailing spaces on the Text option that was added in previous betas. See the new Padding option for an alternative solution.

Added

• Gauges: Added padding=left,top,right,bottom option to meters. Allows adding pixels around any or all sides a meter. The width and height of the meter will be dynamically adjusted to the new size.
• Measures: Added paused=0/1 option to measures. This allows setting the “paused” state of a measure, in addition to the !PauseMeasure/!UnpauseMeasure/!TogglePauseMeasure bangs previously added.

Fixed

• !SetWallpaper: Improved performance when setting the wallpaper with large images.

Changed

• Button meter: Changed the mouse over behavior to ignore transparent areas of the image, to match the mouse click behavior.
