A Rainmeter plugin to show n-number of top processes by either memory or CPU consumption.
The plugin was created by Chad Voelker and made compatible with Rainmeter 3.2 by Grant Pannell.
The only source I found were for version 2.0.0, not compatible with Rainmeter 3.2. I decompiled the 2.2.0 DLL
in order to have a working base for the changes I needed for Rainmeter-GalaxyS
and correct a bug in the Format parser.
The example bellow display the top four processes by CPU usage.
12,8%: Photoshop
9,2%: firefox
3,4%: MsMpEng
0,9%: Spotify

; Indicates if this init entry should re-look at the process list
; If you do more than one config entry, only ONE needs to do the ReQuery
; 1 = Yes, 0 = No
ReQuery=1
; Pipe-delimited processess to exclude from the list (can handle wildcards, use the % or * character)
; GlobalIgnoredProcesses is MORE efficient than SpecificIgnoredProcesses as it filters globally (at the Perfmon query)
; If you use GlobalIgnoredProcesses to filter, processes will be excluded from all measures using the TopProcesses plugin
; GlobalIgnoredProcesses will only be applied to the measure with ReQuery=1
GlobalIgnoredProcesses=Idle|%Total|rundll32|wscript|userinit|Rainmeter|svchost*
; Pipe-delimited processess to exclude from the list (can handle wildcards, use the % or * character)
; SpecificIgnoredProcesses is LESS efficient than GlobalIgnoredProcesses as it filters per measure.
; The processes below will ONLY be filtered for this measure
; SpecificIgnoredProcesses can be used on any measure, regardless of ReQuery value

; Metric for which to determine top processes (CPU or Memory)
MetricType=CPU
; The top processes to find can be a single number (e.g. 0 = top one process) or a range (0-4 = top five processes)
ProcNums=0-3
; Format in which to return the results... any string including the following keys: %pName %pID %CPU %Memory
; You can also get a substring of a key; e.g. to trim the name to 8 chars use this format: s(%pName,0,7)
Format="%CPU%: %pName"
[TopCPUText]
Meter=String
MeterStyle=Style
MeasureName=MeasureTopCPUIf you want more control on the data display (eg: number of decimals, decimal symbol) you can use the %RawCPU and %RawMemory formats. When used with a single process (ProcNums=0) these will return a numeric value which can be formatted as needed.
The example bellow displays the top two processes by memory usage, with different color on the process names and Rainmeter's autoscale.
