Rainmeter

Didn't find anything about this programme in the site so thought some people would find it nice. It's a cool application that lets you monitor your CPU usage, Memory usage, shows you the time, hard disk free space and more. And with other skin than the default one you it can monitor winamp.

It has a native 64bit version and 32bit:
Rainmeter

here a couple of site that offer skins for it:
Rainmeter Skins
Rainmeter Skins - Customize.org

The skin I use now


The first time I saw it was on a desktop image from a image board from that time I searched to find it and I did as you can see. To save trouble to anyone that would want it I got it here: “ SensitiveKnife2�bSkinGallery “ (copy link location and past it in a new tab if not it won't work or just go through the website below rainmeter skins, it's in the second page)

Got it from this Japanese site (the link is the translated page with Google) when in the page click on the word "TOP" beside the SensitiveKnife2 logo on top of the page.

I will try to answer any question in the topic!

A lot of vista gadgets do the same or more.

Nice to know have any examples?

Yes, I've used it in the past.
I prefer it to the Vista Sidebar, but it's still not my cup of tea.
