Installation!

If you have Rainmeter installed, then that's basically all you have to do! Required Rainmeter version: 3.3.0.2438 or higher. All theme wallpapers are included in the package!

Programs used for system temps!

CPU temp: CoreTemp

GPU temp: MSI Afterburner

To get the best use out of the taskbars included, I recommend using Desktop Coral.

If for some reason you find yourself needing a fresh copy of Stangowner's MSI Afterburner.dll, you should go to this page. All information on how to install the .dll manually is presented at the top of the first post.

Known Bugs!

When installing the skin or running the config app, Rainmeter becomes unresponsive and locks up.

Info about this bug:
    Thanks to H0rwood, I've found out that the config tool is causing the issue. 
    At this moment I'm not quite sure what's in the config that's causing this to happen.
    Currently, the workaround is to force close Rainmeter. After that you should be able to edit the 'SkinVariables.inc' file and then launch the apps individually.

Theme Help!

I've added themes for the current release. So far I have green, red, blue, and dark orange themes, but I'd like to add more. If anyone's good with PS and your interested in helping make more themes, don't hesitate to contact me!
