Download Rainmeter 3.3 r2438 beta

A new beta release of Rainmeter version 3.3 has been released. This program can display all kinds of useful, but also less meaningful information 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. In this release, the skin installer has been improved and two issues have been fixed.

Changed

• Skin Installer: The Skin Installer application, used to install .rmskin files in Rainmeter, has been modified so it will by default not replace a newer version of an included 3rd-party plugin with an older version. This is based on the “File version” information in the compiled .dll file(s), and is to protect users from having an old plugin in a .rmskin replace a newer version.
  It is very important that all 3rd-party plugin authors keep up-to-date with version information in their plugin releases. Going forward, if an author releases a new version of their plugin, but doesn’t change the version number information in the .dll, it will not be installed by Rainmeter if the end-user already has the older version of the plugin.

Fixed

• String meter: Corrected an issue with the Inline Options GradientColor setting, that was causing incorrect percentage placement of the gradient in some cases.
• Image meter: Corrected an issue where removing a MaskImageName with !SetOption was not possible.
