Rainmeter For Windows 11

[Brigitta Martini]

Doyou want to install Windows 11 but you really like the taskbar of windows 10? Then you can actualy patch the Windows 11 Explorer to get back the old taskbar. Doing this will make TaskbarX functional again in Windows 11. Visit ExplorerPatcher

What versions of Windows does TaskbarX support? TaskbarX only supports Windows 10. Version 1709 and lower will have issues with the "taskbar styling" option but, the centering will work fine. Windows 7 does not work and is not supported. It could be working on Windows 8 but, is not officially tested and is also not supported.

Whats the difference between the normal version and the store version? The store version is exactly the same as the normal/free version. It's a donation sytem. The store version does give you the benefit of automatic updates and easy installing.

How to run TaskbarX on startup? Once you click apply inside the Configurator a Taskschedule should be created with a delay of 3 seconds. If this doesn't work try increasing the delay to like 10 seconds or so inside the Configurator under the Taskschedule tab.

How do i uninstall TaskbarX? Open the "TaskbarX Configurator" and hit the "Stop TaskbarX" button. This will stop the TaskbarX process and put your icons back to the left. Then go to the "Taskschedule" tab and hit the "Remove" button. After that you can simply remove the files where you installed TaskbarX.

How to update TaskbarX? Open the "TaskbarX Configurator" and hit the "Stop TaskbarX" button. This will stop the TaskbarX process and put your icons back to the left. Then overwrite the old TaskbarX files with the updated ones.

Error Windows cannot find 'shell:AppsFolder\Chris... after uninstalling Store version? At the moment the Store has no option to remove a taskschedule. So it has to be done manually until Microsoft provides a solution. Here's how to fix it. In your startmenu search for "Task Scheduler". On the left menu click on "Task Scheduler Library". In the middle a list will appear. Right click on the "TaskbarX" or "FalconX" entry and click "Delete".

Weather on Rainmeter Issue. My NovaweatherAPI And VClouds weather widgets on Rainmeter are no longer working like they were yesterday or this morning. It seems like these weather parts of rainmeter have issues because somebody can't resist changing the standard that everyone follows, which breaks the weather on all the widgets. They used one standard, and then that changed, and that is why most of my weather on Rainmeter won't work, except for the two already mentioned. Did they change the protocol yet again? And I believe that I am using the correct lattitude and longitude on the two that were previously working. Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks!

I guess it depends what sort of user you are but I always had in the back of my mind that it made desktops look cluttered. Things like how much CPU or RAM is being used, together with how much space each hard drive has is useless as the latter generally doesn't change significantly.

But then I see some people with news feeds, or other "nice" things that could actually be useful.

Since joining Neowin, I realised how cluttered my desktop was with icons and shortcuts, so over the 10 or so years, I now only have one icon, which points to a drive I use to store "jobs" I have to do. This has made for a very clean desktop but I have come full circle to looking at Rainmeter again.

Haven't used Rainmeter/Samurize/etc in a while now (I don't actually see my desktop when I'm working, so fairly useless for my needs) but don't see why 10 would change things. If that's your thing, go nuts, it's still fairly popular on the modding sites.

i cannot be bothered to customize the desktop anymore. i don't have time or will to do it, even though i was totally into it when i was younger.

(this was the main reason i stayed with neowin originally)

even posting funny pictures to neowin seems a better way to waste time, then customizing my desktop. i rarely ever look at it, since most time is spend in the browser, or in full screen apps.

nowadays my desktop is collection of most important files, things to catchup on, office/personal stuff and all kinds of new stuff that i did not store anywhere else yet, and i am not sure if i will keep.

i like my wallpaper and stuff is organized in groups around the edges of the screen, but beyond that, i don't need no feeds (smartphone takes care of that) or stats (who cares) to keep going

Going back to rainmeter, I find them boring, for some reason I just go back to using my sidebar, it's cool, for about a day or so, but after that, nope. (another thing I didn't like was trying to find a network monitor in rm that didn't give my full ip address)

MONITOR 1: I use Stardock's Start10 Update for the choice of a Windows 7 Start Menu to begin with then I add DisplayFusion for control of a dual monitor setup. The nice thing about DisplayFusion is it's a one-time purchase and you get lifetime updates (at least for the betas) and you get a second Taskbar with Start button to boot on Monitor 2. DisplayFusion also locks programs to one or the other Monitor when opening, so in my case I like having Outlook open on Monitor 1 all the time and then when there's a hyperlink in an email that I want to follow, IE or Edge will automatically open on Monitor 2 for viewing. Then on the Monitor 1 I use Stardock's Fences to reign in all the program icons under different categories. For example, I have Microsoft Programs (which includes Office programs, Skype, etc.), General Programs, Security & Utilities and Games. You can also create custom icons in a Fences category including I also have iObit's Advanced System Care Performance Monitor (fully expanded so it shows the various system temperatures) to round out that monitor's desktop. And there's still plenty of space left on the desktop for other Fences categories.

MONITOR 2 : I use Rainmeter with Omnimo. Omnimo comes with a lot of its own specific "super" icon tiles much the same as the Windows Tiles. Some of these are active and others are fixed...just like Windows Tiles. Then there is the ability to create lots of custom tiles including Yes, there is a lot of duplication of effort here between monitors, but having access to all your programs on each monitor when you have a program open fullscreen on either is extremely helpful.

Making sure his system isn't overheating? Some rigs are overclocked and/or undercooled and keeping an eye on these things isn't necessarily a bad idea. For example, when I first built this system I'm on now I babysat the temps, fans and voltages for a while too until I got it "just right."

That said, there's a ton of things that you can do with Rainmeter that has nothing to do with system monitoring, just look over DA and the like for some ideas on how flexible it is. Still not for me anymore but it's an excellent tool if you're into that sort of thing. I would love to see this thing have the capability to display on a live tile though, I'd pay money for that.

Tl/dr "i got old"

same happened to me.

no more icon/visual style hacking

don't flash roms every 5 mins on my phone, now opt for stock stabilty.

don't replace car audio anymore as "it's too complicated"

gone back to windows 8.1 as i was having "annoying issues" which i'd have once spent an age on until they were resolved, somehow.

I've even started going to bed early a few nights a week "to catch up".

I use Rainmeter still for one single skin: Cowon Clock. It's a clock with a calendar that sits on the Desktop. I don't have any other skin. But it's nice having that clock and being able to quickly see the time.
