Basic Rainmeter Illustro Plugins

Post by Mjayc1993 »

So im new to Rainmeter, just downloaded it today. I have looked all over the web, but I can not figure out how to use the plugins that come with the Rainmeter download. I am trying to use the CoreTemps plugin. I have downloaded the CoreTemps program, but I can't find a way to get it to show on my desktop. Please Help!

Do you have started the CoreTemp app, in the background? Because otherwise, the plugin won't work.

Yeah I read all of that, and I have it running in the background. I just don't see an option to use it.

You mean that you don't know how to create a skin to show the temperature? If so, you could look for one on DeviantArt (download and install it), or you could try the Example skin from the Help.
