Hi, I successfully deployed my new Hermes Lite 2... with Thetis 2.9.0.8... all's well, but as I browse the net I'm seeing some wonderful new meters (skins?) developed by an OH ham. I take it that those skins don't install automatically, but my Google searches are striking out vis-a-vis where to find them and how to install them. If anyone can provide a newbie a clue regarding how to acquire those sexy meters (that imo rival Kenwood, etc.), I'd really appreciate any tip or clue.
Thanks, 73, Randy K7RAN

Nothing needed AFAIK, Meters are set uo in Settings/Appearance/Multi Meters, add a container and select what's wanted in the container.   Click on ythe top RHS of the container to undock from the main screen.

Pretty good youtube videos on how to setup the meters.

Thank you for the responses. This is what I was looking for — now I need to figure out where the "OpenHPSDRMeters" folder is so that I can add the art.

Sorry I left off the link... this was what I was looking for:
And as I mentioned, my next task is to try to figure out where the appropriate folder is for the skins.

Copy files into C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\OpenHPSDR\Meters\

 

Select Ana MultiMeter

 

I checked dark mode.

Perfect, I found that, and I'm there. Now I'm wondering if I can move around some of the widgets on the screen to make room for the multi-meter?
Really appreciate the hand-holding... My son is convinced that I sometimes need to have things explained as if I'm 5 years old, and I guess I'm proving him right here. Thank you... 73, Randy K7AN
