Description Current Build: 1000
REQUIRED: Rainmeter 1.2 Beta Rev 349

Codename Versailles is a simple meter that returns measurements in colors to make it very in-your-face simple to understand.

I am currently working on some additions/improvements (such as labeling). It may take awhile to roll out since I'm working on a bigger project at the moment.

-----

Known Issues:
-The background of the time and the labels are supposed to light up between 8PM and 5AM. I've noticed that the times that they light up are very sporadic. Working on a fix or a work-around for this.
-(Only happened once) the hard drive light disappeared. A refresh fixed this issue (and should for any other lights if they don't execute)
---Any other issues, let me know---

HOW THE LIGHTS WORK:

Processor: Based on 10 levels, slowly turns from green to red as the usage of cores increase. So 10% usage would slightly add some red, making it more yellow (becomes 255,255,0 (yellow) at 50%) and then becomes red at 100%.

Memory: There's only 3 colors here due to limitations on how I could make the actual bar meter work. Green (0-50%), Yellow (50-80%), and Red (80-100%).

Network: Based on 4 different levels. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work based on percentages, so the data must be calculated by the user. Green (0-25%) Yellow (25-50%) Orange (50-75%) Red (75-100%). Upload on the right, download on the left.

HDD: Based on usage of the drive. It's set so the max bytes/sec is 60,000,000 (57.2 MB/s) and it calculates the usage into a percentage. This is based on the same system as the processor system (except red occurs at 95%).

Hmm, this is really interesting. And its got a really cool look to it. Sort of reminds of one of those old Windows 7 mock-ups. This is really going to turn out great! Good luck!

nice, but isn't the memory bar kind of too transparent

If I dropped the lighting on all the other "lights" they would be just as transparent as the memory bar. I'm actually planning on making the memory bar into a light system like the rest of them.

Looks nice... What do the colours mean for Network and Hard Drive though? Do they simply flash when there's network or drive activity, or is it something else?

For network, the one on the left is download and on the right it's upload. All the lights are based on a system and I'll post it in the description right after this message. So, short answer I guess would be that yes, they're based on activity .

Cool, thanks.. That sounds like a pretty straight forward system, nice idea!
