Important Notes

  • Weather: right click on widget and edit variables file where you have to put your own co-ordinates of latitude and langitude to have it working
  • Events: Edit the line 21 where you have to put your own country calendar events ics link, use claude for this, send that link and ask it to give you back your country events ics link

  • Sizing: DO NOT TRY TO RESIZE WIDGETS BY EDITING SKIN FILES OR VARIABLE FILES, THIS SKIN IS IN BETA AND MIGHT BREAK YOUR WIDGET.
  • Colors: This skin only works well when your pc/desktop/laptop is in dark mode. i made light and dark themes of widgets with dark mode on. This is a small mistake from my side, i will fix it in later versions and will provide a seprate skin for that.

Installation

  1. First install webnowplayingredux.rmskin and meterial-you.rmskin as these are the main plugins needed for this skin (NOT REQUIRED IF YOU ARE ON BETA 2 OR ABOVE)

  2. Install/ Update Rainmeter for Windows.

  3. Download the latest release of MD3-Windows.

  4. Double click the downloaded .rmskin file and it should open the skin install dialog.

    If you have a portable Rainmeter install, your file may not open by default by the skin installer. If so, open the .rmskin file with the SkinInstaller.exe file in the Rainmeter install directory.
