Description
About:A simple transparent/"glassy" Rainmeter config, width 1280 px but can be changed. Looks good on all kinds of wallpapers, light and dark.
Relatively easy to modify, but if you have any problems (or ideas!) feel free to ask for help in the comments or send me a note.
I think this might be the final version, which is why I made a new deviation.
See how sweet it looks on my desktop: [link]
Please
Update May 30:
Here we go again!
Changes from previous version:
- Code fixes (especially for Winamp)
- New Winamp features
- Process counter after CPUMHz
- Repositioning of objects
- New backgrounds (including separate top/bottom) and a cool toggle-button
Installation:
1. Extract fonts (inside Fonts-directory) to C:/Windows/Fonts
2. Extract the whole "Suffix v4"-directory to your rainmeter/skins -directory
3. Run Rainmeter, right click its taskbar icon and choose Suffix v4/suffix.ini from the Configs-submenu
4. IF you want to place the bar on the absolute top/bottom of your screen: Right click the bar and uncheck Skin menu -> Keep on screen and Snap to edges. I know it's tricky then but it's the only way.
5. Final code edits and you're done!
More:
I recommend using something like DesktopCoral [link] to "reserve" the config-portion of the desktop so maximized windows don't go over it.

Hello man!
Really a good job, I appreciate it so much.
Got a question for you: is it possible to switch the commands on the bar from WinAmp to Foobar2000 (which is the program I use to play music)? If the answer is yes, could you tell me how?
Thanks and, again, good job! Keep on working like this!

Sorry for the slow reply, been in the army. I also use Foobar2000 so the answer is yes! There is a plugin called foo_winamp_spam, it makes Foobar react to Winamp's windowmessage commands. Find it easily by googling.

Feel free to mod the bar however you want and submit it, just remember to credit me
I've got all the features I want in this version of the bar, I know it could show lots of more information but I don't need all that (system + network connection info etc).
But if you find some bugs or improvements on current features then I'd like to update the deviation myself.

Sorry posted on the old version
Is there a way to change the music controls to point to WMP? Otherwise, great job!

Yep, there is a way Would only need to change WindowClass=Winamp v1.x => WindowClass=WMPlayerApp plus change all the correct WindowMessage values for WMP. But I don't use WMP so I won't bother to mess with it myself.

Sure I'd like to learn to do it myself, but do you know where I could find aforementioned WMP WindowMessages?

I found this config [link] you could borrow the code from that I suppose.

I assume an admin or someone turned mature content warning on in this deviation because of the preview pic, I changed the pic now but how can I take the warning off? There's only Yes [strict] / Yes [warning] options lol. Now people think this is some kinda perv config...
