The Pin-Code aspect of the Lock Sreen makes it a nice addition to a Windows touchscreen laptop.
The weather and RSS make nice bells and whistles.
Not the most stable at times, but that's almost certainly on Rainmeter and not on you.

Thanks! Yes, it is resource intensive, but it runs when nothing else is demanding processor time. This pushes Rainmeter imaging processing to the edge!

Really?
It's a screen lock... what did you expect?
Everyone's entitled to their opinion...
I see you haven't created anything, so I will consider the source when deciding a comment's value.
Have a great day.
