Description Rainmeter 2.5 Build 1706 Beta: Rainmeter is a desktop customization platform. Through Rainmeter, you can enhance your Windows computer at home or work with skins: handy, compact applets which float freely on your desktop, much like Windows Sidebar gadgets, or dashboard widgets for the Mac. Rainmeter skins provide you with useful information at a glance. It's easy to keep an eye on your system resources, like memory and battery power, or your online data streams, including email, RSS feeds, and weather forecasts. Many skins are even functional: they can record your notes and to-do lists, launch your favorite applications, and send your tweets to Twitter - all in a clean, unobtrusive interface that you can rearrange and customize to your liking.
Rainmeter 2.5 Beta Release
Time for the next version of Rainmeter!
The latest version of Rainmeter will see many
improvements, both for users of the application and for those creating and
editing skins. Stay tuned every Sunday for the latest beta version. As always,
Rainmeter 2.5 fully supports skins written for earlier versions, and users can
simply upgrade their existing installations. There is no need to uninstall or
change any existing setup to use the new beta version.
November 25, 2012 - Revision 1706
- Mouse Actions: Mouse scrolling on skins and meters now works without
having to click to "focus" the skin window.
- Manage: Now allows negative X/Y coordinates.
- WebParser: Changed the Debug=2 option to write WebParserDump.txt to
the current skin folder. This is due to Windows 8 not allowing
applications to write to the root directory of the system drive.

- Added new Mouse Actions to support the scroll wheel. Full details in

tab of the Manage window.
